View moreCambridge Cemetery at Hautapu – Pre 1910 Headstones
In the Cambridge Cemetery there are thousands of potted family histories, an art gallery, a garden.
The original cemetery map was destroyed on 23 July 1900 when the Cambridge Borough Council offices burnt down and the Burial Register was not started until 31 December 1909.
That leaves 44 years of burials unregistered.
The first burial recorded on a headstone is Dugald Charles Edward S MacColl who died on 6 August 1866 and his wooden memorial can be seen beside the front gate. (We believe the first burial was Robert Wilson who died 23 June 1866.)
Deaths of many people in this cemetery have come to light through the headstones, archives, newspaper reports and from death certificates in family history research.
