The following list is a sincere attempt to show all known graves using several different sources and periodically updated headstone photographs. There may be other graves which are unknown/unlisted due to missing, unreadable, destroyed or broken markers. -George Pickersgill

If you have knowledge of any other graves which may not be shown below, or of any incorrect information whatsoever, I would be grateful for your assistance. Please drop me an e-mail and let me know. Please avoid notifying me of very recent burials that do not appear here. I will capture and incorporate these on the next scheduled cemetery update.
