Located off North Road, the driveway for the cemetery is 600 m north of the North Road Baptist Church. The cemetery is made up of two properties (NB PID# 15036718 & 15036726) which give a combined area of 1.3 acre in size. In 1937, H. Morton Merriman deed land to the Trustees of the Free Christian Baptist Church. In 1966, the second additional parcel (southeast) was acquired from John A. Merriman. The North Road Baptist Church is located at 500 North Road in the island community of Welshpool. The first Baptist church was erected at Wilson's Beach. Residents of North Road/Welshpool would cross the harbour and united with the Baptists at Wilson's Beach until 1863, when the Free Christian Baptist body was organized at North Road, and a church built about 1869. The church was not finished when the Saxby Gale hit the area in October 1869 and did much damage to the structure. More funds had to be raised to finish the building. Rev. Peter Malloch was the first pastor. Previous to the churches construction, the local school house in the community was used as a place of worship. In 1905, when the Free Christian Baptists became affiliated with the United Baptists, the North Road Society became a unit of the latter body of Christians known as the Maritime United Baptist Convention. Today the cemetery (and church) are owned by the Trustees of the North Road Baptist Church. There are over 180 known burials in the cemetery and is now the more frequently used cemetery of the cemeteries in Welshpool. The last full transcription of the cemetery was done by Glenna Parker in 2001. (source: Charlotte County Interments Index - New Brunswick Genealogical Society, ISBN: 978-0-9916887-1-5)
