The records are transcribed in some detail, with then following a useful example:
I am surprised, however, to see that the names of informants do not seem to be included, which I would have thought might have been quite a useful genealogical clue in many cases.

Neither of the two entries I looked at had the marital status which would have helped to rule them in or out for me. They were in different counties. Very odd.
ReplyDeleteFrom the brief foray I've made into these records I think there may be something a little odd going on with this massively expanded record set. FamilySearch do not have appeared to have updated the catalogue entry to explain what they've added, but I've found records for much later than 1870 - right up into the 1890's in fact. The extra records I've found also look like burial register transcripts (exclusively for Mount Jerome in my searches?) not death register transcripts? Lovely to get more information but the source is now a bit confusing to cite if we don't know what exactly has been added.
ReplyDeleteUseful to know Ruth, thanks.
