Good morning everyone! I hope everyone is having a pleasant sunday morning (no doubt some of you are still in bed, o lucky ones). It looked like rain for a bit here this morning but it has cleared off nicely and the sun is now shining. Time for my second instalment of transcribed death registrations. There are 30 from Fitzroy twp in 1907. They will be delivered in three parts, just to make it easier to read. I have used the same format as last time, as this one is basically the same. However, 1907 had an additional heading - "If Single, Give Name of Father; If Married, Give Name of Husband". I've added this category at the end of the entry as - "Note - Father/Husband:" when this is filled in. About 13 entries had a father or husband listed. While these deaths were registered in Fitzroy, birth places do vary. There were people born in Pakenham and Darling twp's (across the border in Lanark co), Huntley (next door to Fitzroy), England, Ireland, Scotland, and even one lady born in Quebec. We also have the usual religions: Presbyterians (8), Roman Catholic (6), Church of England (13), plus a couple Methodists (3) dropped in for good measure. If your interested in the causes of death (it's morbid, but hey, genealogists live for these kinds of details!), rootsweb has a webpage (do you think I can find the address! When I find it I'll let you know.) on the old causes of death and what they translate into today's terms. Bright's Disease, for example, is a kidney ailment now known by a medical term about mile wide and apoplexy is a stroke. The most popular (if you will) causes of death include various kinds of TB (6) and heart troubles (4). Plus we have the ever popular "Old Age" and "General Debility" terms. I don't think I've ever come across a township death registration that does not include these terms! As I'm sticking to deaths for awhile, if anyone has any particular requests for death registrations, please let me know and I'll be happy to order it for you in my next batch. Unfortunately, it takes about a month to come (the main point is that it's free!), so it won't be for a bit. (I was going to say something and do you think I can remember what it is? Don't you hate when that happens! Oh, now I remember...) If anyone has any transcriptions or websites or anything else that you think might be of interest to our little Carleton co community, please don't hesitate to share. I've noticed that some other lists have accompanying webpages. Would anyone be interested in volunteering to whatever you do to make a webpage (as you can see, the web isn't exactly my speciality - I prefer the feel of paper in my hands, especially when it's old and dusty and makes you sneeze!)? Please let me know if your finding these transcriptions helpful. Has anyone found any relatives? Till next month..
