ChristChurchCemetery
Hillier, Ontario
Chronological list of deaths by year
The first burial register for the Parish of Hillier, Wellington and Gerow Gore is not very complete and does not indicate the location of the person’s burial, thus making it difficult to determine if someone for whom there is no headstone was actually buried in ChristChurch cemetery. It is very evident from the burial records that many burials were of denominations other than Anglican.
