MISCELLANEOUS ALMSHOUSE BIRTHS AND DEATHS 1756 – 1771

These are the only systematically organized lists of Almshouse births and deaths in the eighteenth-century records. The extensive lists of admissions and discharges do note occasional births and deaths in the Almshouse but cannot be used to calculate full statistical frequencies. The best that can be done is to assume that the births recorded in these lists for a single year might indicate a rough estimate of annual births in a steady almshouse population and turnover. The same holds true for the list of deaths. These kinds of data are much more systematically recorded and organized, with much more detail by the second and third decades of the nineteenth-century. These lists are found in Box 9, Registers 1 and 2 of the manuscript records. Please see Notes 2 and 3 below.
