Names on Graves at Former Hagley Presbyterian Church Tasmania ( CIRCA 1844)
These names on headstones are at the cemetery of the former Hagley Presbyterian Church, Tasmania, Australia circa 1879. Before that it was the first church of England in the district. Sir Richard Dry had a building erected circa 1839 and from the 1840's was shared by all Protestant faiths.
Sir Richard Dry organised the construction of St Mary's Hagley and for a time the old Hagley church was used as a school (located in the centre of the cemetery) until it was destroyed by fire. The land was donated to the Presbyterian Church and the new building was opened in 1879.
We have found an overgrown area in the cemetery and believe there might be more graves there. Records of who is buried here, is limited to what is written on headstones and what we have from oral history. Much to my dismay, I learned that a former Parson who was commissioned to the Hagley Church, had destroyed all the records before he returned to England.
I believe we might have most of the names. The older ones I will share later. Some are grouped together as a family plot.
One note is that the late former Prime Minister of new Zealand David Lange paid a visit to the cemetery during a Scott family re-union. Totally verify because I said hello to him on that day and we chatted over the fence.
The list is not in alphabetical order but plot order, please scroll down because the families are spread over the whole area and not necessarily in order.
If anyone requires photographs of headstones please in box me
