Note: these records are NOT chronological by date of death. Some deaths were reported months or years later. Transcription of the writing in these records is very difficult, so browsing for familiar names is a must!
This is a work in progress - please be patient while these important records are being transcribed! Researchers should check both the index and the register ... the entries do not always match. There are some entries in the register that were left off the index.
