Discover the Early History of Goulburnadmin2024-11-06T00:19:01+00:00
This website has been created by volunteers to enable historians to locate graves and to preserve and protect the values and heritage of the aging monuments in the historic cemeteries in Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia.
On this website our researchers have provided short biographical information when found or provided by families. We have also provided on each individual cemetery page, lists of graves with monuments (marked) of prominent and noteworthy citizens, railway workers, convicts, death by misadventure and those who served in World War I.
Unfortunately there are now many graves with no monuments (unmarked) and we have not found records in State or Church archives of plot purchases or plans of burial plots. Many early burials would have used wooden crosses which have not stood the test of time. Many of the remaining monuments are in dire need of restoration.
You can locate graves on this website

Currently the website includes the first three cemeteries used in Goulburn: St Saviour’s, Mortis Street Old General and Goulburn Jewish.
