St. Paul's Graveyard by Canon Scott List of the graves made from such information as was obtainable in 1897 and 1898 A.D. by G.D. Scott. N.B. The numbers correspond with the numbers marked in red on the graveyard plan made in September 1897, of which the original hangs in the Vestry at S.Paul's Church, and a tracing made by F.B. Craig Esq. is to be kept with this book in the safe at the Parish Church. G.D. Scott My chief authority in making this compilation besides Headstones and living memories, was a list drawn up by Rev.J.A. Cross in 1878 or 1879. He must have got his information chiefly from John Dearden, sexton from 1871. John Matthews, sexton from 1846, had died in 1876. See 141 and 350. This list is frequently referred to as "J.A. C."
