Tilting Lighthouse Cemetery

Old RC Cemetery (on Lighthouse Hill) 
There are many headstones down and destroyed. Tilting records started 1835 and under Kings Cove, Nfld prior to that. At Tilting now---Births 1842 to current & Marriages 1842 to current.

Headstone inscriptions were collected and compiled by Shirley Foley. While I have endeavored to be as correct as humanly possible, there may be typographical errors.
