L’Ardoise, Richmond, Nova Scotia

Transcribed By: Jeanne D. Belford, August, 1998

Holy Guardian Angels Parish serves the communities of L’Ardoise, Lower L’Ardoise and Rockdale in Richmond County, Nova Scotia. Two cemeteries are associated with this parish. The oldest one is in front of the church and overlooking the sea and very few gravestones remain. The ones that do exist follow below.

If you are heading north from St. Peters on Hwy 4, the new Holy Guardian Angels Cemetery is south of Hwy 4, on the south side of Route 247. The Cemetery is to the right side of the church.

Assumptions

This transcription does not represent all burials in this cemetery. In some cases there gravestones were not placed. Many other markers and gravestones have been destroyed and/or removed.

The Rectory of Holy Guardian Angels Parish has an extensive plat of the cemetery, which may reflect individuals and families who are not included in this transcription due to markers having been destroyed or removed.
