| Description | These consist of printed obituaries of selected Friends and lists of those who died in a given year with age, date of death, and where the person came from. Later volumes also include place of death and names of widow/widower/parents of deceased and some photographs. At the end of some volumes, there is a table of statistics relating to numbers of deaths at different age ranges in the previous few years.
Please note that obituaries were not necessarily entered into the same year's volume of the Annual Monitor as that in which the death occurred, and some volumes contain obituaries for years earlier than those recorded on the title page.

1846-7, 1850-1857, 1859, 1863-5, 1868-9, 1875-8, 1880, 1883-1887, 1890, 1893-5, 1897-1900, 1902, 1904, 1906, 1910-1914, 1918.
