St. John’s Parramatta, Confirmations, 1911-1925 and 1960-1966

While the first Anglican church in Parramatta was dedicated on the site of St. John’s in 1796, religious services were held in the area before the dedication of the building, which was constructed from materials from two slab huts. This collection includes confirmation records from the parish dating back to 1911. Records varied in format and information included through the years, but you could find details such as the name of the confirmed, age, residence, date of first communion, and date of birth. The early records typically contain less detail.
