About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Note: George Harris #192. This lot was the site of the first Catholic Church in Wakefield. The lot was purchased in 1854 and soon after a small chuch was erected. In 1860 when the larger Baptist Church further down High Street was put up for sale they bought it. They then converted their first site to a burial ground. Since there are a number of burials dating from 1855-1860 we must assume that there was a burial ground next to the original church. Next to town hall; pole #15/1784. Many stones down or leaning on cemetery wall. GPS coordinates 41 deg. 26.481' x 71 deg. 30.162'.
