| Description | Along with the vaccination registers themselves, another record kept by the Vaccination Officers was the monthly list of deaths. These detailed those children under one year old who had died before a vaccination could be carried out. The lists only contain the child's most basic personal details - date and place of death, child's name and age, parent's occupation - rather than detailed notes on the cause of death. The lists include those children who were in the care of the Guardians at the time of their death.
This particular volume was originally part of the Kings Norton Union collection (see GP KN/29/6/1-25 for earlier volumes in the same sequence), and only covers the parish of Kings Norton - however, other volumes survive for Birmingham, Edgbaston and Smethwick (see GP B/29/7-10, and also GP KN/29/7-9). The volume is not indexed. |
