*on this spot · located to ±198 m · [the place’s own record](https://www.chch.live/place/293)*
- Barbadoes Street Cemetery's burial record runs in three Church of England registers: No. 1 from 9 April 1851 to 29 January 1870, No. 2 from 2 February 1870 to 3 September 1882, and No. 3 from 4 September 1882 into the 1970s. — Barbadoes Street Cemetery : alphabetical list of burials (https://www.canterburystories.nz/collections/cccarchives/barbadoesregisters/ccl-cs-26181), 1851-01-01T00:00:00Z
- Each register entry records when the person was buried, their name and surname, age, sex, parents' or husband's name, rank or profession, place of residence, and who performed the ceremony. — Barbadoes St Cemetery, Church of England, Register no. 1 (https://www.canterburystories.nz/collections/cccarchives/barbadoesregisters/ccl-cs-26179), 1851-04-09T00:00:00Z
- The cemetery's ground was surveyed in nine historical plot plans, block by block — bordered by Barbadoes Street to the west and Cambridge Terrace to the south and east — and the plots are not consistently numbered; beside the lych-gate in block 3A, plot 780a is noted as apparently infant graves. — Barbadoes St Cemetery plan - area 1B (https://www.canterburystories.nz/collections/maps-plans/cemeteries/barbadoesstreet/ccl-cs-12871), 1851-01-01T00:00:00Z
- The plots were sold: a separate burial plots book keeps receipt numbers, purchasers' names, plot numbers and sizes, and amounts paid, and its later pages record deposits on part-purchased plots, the completed purchase, and when title was given. — Barbadoes Street. Burial plots book (https://www.canterburystories.nz/collections/cccarchives/barbadoesregisters/ccl-cs-26184), 1872-07-01T00:00:00Z
- By 1945 the cemetery sat inside a built-up city — a view across its headstones that year shows residential houses over the back fence — and by 1979 its graves and headstones were weathered, broken or fallen over; headstones still stood in the western portion in 2005. — Barbadoes Street Cemetery headstones (https://www.canterburystories.nz/collections/cccarchives/glassplates/ccl-cs-119996), 1945-01-01T00:00:00Z
