I visited the Pioneers Memorial Park (formerly the Balmain Cemetery) which is located at Norton St, Liechhardt on Monday 5th August 2013. This cemetery opened in 1868 and closed in 1912. This cemetery during that time accepted 10,608 interments.
My ancestor, James Fitzgerald via my dad’s mum heritage was buried at the Balmain Cemetery on 1883. According to the registry (part 2), James Fitzgerald was mentioned.
FITZGERALD James 1883 24 6378 Part 2
