Black Island - Little Black Island Cemetery

Black Island is made up of two islands and the cemetery is on Little Black Island. According to the 1921 Census there were 153 people living there. This cemetery is very over grown. A number of stones were broken. We could have missed some.

These headstones were read, recorded and transcribed by GAIL & BOYCE STRYDE, July 2000. While I have endeavored to be as correct as humanly possible, there may be typographical errors.
