Full description
This register was used to record the deaths of convicts who died whilst still serving their sentence. It records name, ship of arrival, age, date of burial, parish and occasionally other details relating to convicts whose deaths were reported to the Principal Superintendent of Convicts (until 1855), and subsequently the Inspector General of Police.
Entries are arranged alphabetically, and then within each letter by the date of death in chronological order. The original volume is in fragile condition and contains two loose sheets of paper: page155a memo reporting death of a convict and page 236a nominal return of convicts who have died in 1879.
(4/4549; microfiche copy SR Fiche 749-751*, microfilm copy SR Reel 690, photocopy COD16). 1 vol.
