The inventory of burials at the Old Sydney Burial Ground collated from historical records by Cathy Dunn from Australian History Research is the most comprehensive list of names associated and historical research published to date, 2009.
The Old Sydney Burial Ground buried both the convict and free population. There were no apparent denominational divisions, but some social distinctions were maintained in the spatial organisation of the cemetery.
