Transcribed byPeter Bailey
CommentSouth Park Street Burial Ground begins on page 106 of the book and ends on page 176 - listing all inscriptions found in that cemetery as at 1851.

Records transcribed to date are from 1800 onwards. These are not in date sequence and so this Part 2 is the first part of subsequent records. Further records will be transcribed and included in Part 3, etc. until all are completed up to 1851.

Year of Death  1830    
Inscription  Consecrated to the Memory of Mrs. Elvira Wiltshire, wife of Thomas Wiltshire Esq., born the 27th September 1807, died at Calcutta on the 22d April 1830, aged 22 years 6 months and 24 days. Yes I must weep tho' reason oft in vain Bids my fond heart, its heaving sighs restrain, And oft suggests to my afflicted mind That earthly virtues, heavenly joys shall find. Go then, dear shade, thy just reward receive, Fate bids me trust, tho' nature bids me grieve. I bow submissive to the will divine, Mine is the sorrow, be the glory thine.
