Additional Info:

In 1837, Father A. Kernan, a native of Galway Ireland, was appointed to establish a parish headquartered in Cobourg, that would extend from Trenton to Oshawa.  The first church in Cobourg built in 1839 was a frame building dedicated to St.  Polycarp and was located on William Street.  Father Kernan suffered a fatal injury in a fall from a horse when he was thirty-eight years old.  His remains were interred beneath the church but later moved to the central mound in the parish cemetery in 1895.

By 1859, the church was found to be inadequate in size and a brick addition was erected which doubled the size of the church.  Four years later, the original wood section was destroyed by fire and replaced by brick.  At this time it was rededicated to St.  Michael.  The cornerstone for the present St.  Michael's Church was laid on June 9, 1895 and the church was dedicated on Feb.  23, 1896 by Bishop R.A.  O'Connor.

Records taken from a transcription by Rob Mikel in 1983 and updated from a site check by Allan Birney in July 1996.  The records from St.  Polycarp and St.  Michael's registers were added in March 2003 by Ron Smith and Paul Morton.

The original St.  Polycarp cemetery was located where Kraft Foods once stood; some of the monuments and remains were transferred to the current St.  Michael's cemetery site and this file contains the combined records of both as we are unable to distinguish where many of the older burials took place and which ones may have been moved.

This cemetery was photographed and updated by Keith Edwards in March of 2019.  The burial records were updated by Jayne Lazure.

Until such time as a photo "Drag and Drop" function has been added to Cemsearch, here is the way to prepare your photos for inclusion in our database:

 • IMPORTANT: FIRST select the person in Cemsearch for whom you want to add a photo, then re-open this help screen.

 • You currently have selected Thomas Arthur Leonard. You can submit photos for his plot's monument(s) or personal photos of just him.

 • On your computer, locate the file(s) of the photo(s) you want to submit for Thomas Arthur Leonard.

 • DO NOT make duplicate photos of the same side of a stone for each person shown on it. For example, if husband and wife are both shown on one stone image, DO NOT make two copies of this image; only one is required.

 • For MONUMENT Pictures, do the following:
   • Copy this code: COBSTM0237; (MUST include the semicolon)
   • Rename the monument files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
   • IMPORTANT: The code COBSTM0237; is SPECIFIC to ALL people on this stone or plot.

 • For PERSONAL Pictures for JUST this person, do the following:
   • Copy this code: COBSTM0237^0; (MUST include the semicolon)
   • Rename the personal files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
   • IMPORTANT: The code COBSTM0237^0; is SPECIFIC to Thomas Arthur Leonard and your picture(s) prefixed with this code will appear ONLY for him.

 • HINT: for convenience, these codes also appear below the Born/Died dates where you can click on them to automatically copy them.

 • ATTACH photos (full size; if you can, limit to about 1-2 megabytes in size) with the prefixed filename to an email and send to: helpus@cemsearch.ca.
