Secretary's  Office,  Boston; 

November  13,  1847. 

Tb  the  Ho7iorable  Senate 

and  House  of  Representatives : 

I  have  the  honor  to  report  the  following  statement  and  tabular 
results  of  the  Registry  and  Returns  of  Births,  Marriages  and 
Deaths,  for  the  registration  year,  ending  April  30th,  1847. 

The  number  of  the  Births,  Marriages  and  Deaths  returned  from 
the  several  towns  is,  in  the  first  place,  exhibited  in  full,  with  the 
population  of  the  towns  according  to  the  census  of  1840,  and  a 
recapitulation  of  the  same  classes  of  facts,  summed  up  according 
to  counties  (pp.  3 — 11).  In  another  column,  for  purposes  of  com- 
parison, are  given  the  returns  of  the  two  preceding  years.  The 
last  returns  of  Births,  Marriages  and  Deaths  are  more  full  than 
those  of  either  of  the  previous  years.  The  number  of  Births  re- 
turned, is  as  1  to  34  inhabitants  (according  to  the  census  of  1840), 
excluding  the  population  of  Boston ;  the  number  of  Marriages,  as 
1  to  114,  and  of  Deaths,  as  1  to  54.  The  returns  of  births  from 
Bradford  and  Rockport,  in  Essex  county,  were  made  too  late  to  be 
incorporated  into  the  tables;  as  they  were  received  before  the 
printing  was  begun,  they  are  entered  in  their  place  on  page  3. 
Returns  of  11  births  and  1  marriage  were  received  this  day  from 
Norwich,  in  Hampshire  county. 

Extracts  from  the  communications  of  the  town-clerks  are  pre- 
sented, as  heretofore,  in  the  body  of  notes  appended  to  the  synopsis 
of  returns  (pp.  12 — 21).  The  towns  which  failed  to  make  returns 
are  specified  at  the  end  of  the  notes,  under  the  heads  of  the  several 
counties. 

The  town-clerks  have  sometimes  returned  the  names  of  inhab- 
itants,   whose   deaths   have   taken  place  elsewhere.     When   the 


VI 

death  is  represented  to  have  occurred  in  some  other  town  of  the 
Commonwealth,  the  entry  has  been  transferred  to  that  town; 
when  elsewhere,  it  has  been  omitted,  except  cases  of  death  at  sea, 
or  in  a  foreign  port. 

Table  I,  in  two  parts,  relates  to  Births.  The  first  part  (p.  22) 
exhibits  the  number  of  male  and  female  children,  and  of  those 
whose  sex  is  not  reported,  born  respectively  in  the  several  months 
and  in  the  several  counties.  The  second  part  (p.  23)  exhibits  the 
cases  of  more  than  one  child  at  a  birth,  arranged  under  the  heads 
of  months,  counties,  and  sex. 

Table  11,  in  two  parts,  relates  to  Marriages.  The  first  part  (p. 
24)  records  the  number  of  marriages  solemnized,  in  each  month, 
in  each  county  of  the  Commonwealth.  The  second  part  (pp. 
25 — 27)  records  the  facts  important  to  be  observed  in  statistical 
tables,  in  relation  to  the  ages  and  conditions  of  parties  to  marriage. 

Tables  III,  IV  and  V  relate  to  Deaths. 

Table  III,  in  four  parts,  records  the  causes  of  death.  In  the 
first  part  (pp.  28 — 35),  against  the  names  of  the  respective  dis- 
eases, alphabetically  arranged,  is  recorded  the  number  of  persons 
who  died  of  the  same  during  the  year,  with  a  specification  of  the 
sex,  proximate  age,  month  of  decease,  and  place  of  birth,  so  far 
as  to  distinguish  between  natives  of  the  American  town  where 
they  died,  other  Americans,  and  foreigners.  The  second  part 
(pp.  36 — 39),  against  the  names  of  the  diseases,  scientifically  ar- 
ranged, presents  the  number  of  deaths  therefrom  in  the  several 
counties. 

The  third  part  of  Table  III  (pp.  42 — 45)  presents  a  synopsis  of 
the  number  of  deaths  from  each  disease,  or  other  cause,  which 
took  place,  according  to  the  returns,  in  1847,  and  the  two  preced- 
ing years  respectively.  The  proportion  of  the  number  of  each 
class,  in  each  year,  to  the  number  of  10,000,  is  carried  out  in  three 
other  columns,  afljording  the  means  of  a  perfect  comparison  of  the 
proportional  mortality  from  different  causes,  so  far  as  the  returns 
furnish  the  requisite  materials.  The  fourth  part  of  the  same  table 
(p.  46),  under  the  heads  of  the  respective  counties,  exhibits  the 
returns  of  stillborn  children,  with  a  specification  of  the  sex. 

Table  IV  (pp.  47 — 50),  designed  to  illustrate  the  influence  of 
occupation  on  longevity,  exhibits  the  number,  and  average  age  at 
the  time  of  death,  of  persons  engaged  respectively  in  the  different 
employments  of  life,  as  shown  by  the  returns  of  1847,  and  the  two 
preceding  years. 


Vll 

Table  V  (p.  51),  designed  to  furnish  some  illustration  of  the 
influenceof  domestic  condition  on  longevity,  exhibits,  against  each 
county,  an  abstract  of  the  returns  of  the  number,  sex,  and  age  of 
persons  deceased  in  the  last  registration  year,  under  the  divisions 
of  single,  married,  and  widowed. 

Which  is  respectfully  submitted  by 

JOHN  G.  PALFREY,  Secretary.

Some  of  the  returns  were  accompanied  with  remarks  by  the 
town  clerks.  From  these,  the  following  notes  have  been  com- 
piled with  a  view  to  show  the  condition  of  registration  through 
the  State,  the  practical  operation  of  existing  laws  on  the  subject, 
and  the  views  of  the  town  clerks  in  regard  to  amendments. 

SUFFOLK  COUNTY. 

Chelsea. — Marriages.  "I  presume  there  has  been  quite  a  number  which 
have  not  been  returned  to  this  office." 

No  Return  of  births,  marriages  or  deaths  from  Boston;  and  of  births  or 
deaths  from  JVorih  Chelsea, 

ESSEX  COUNTY. 

Amesburt. — Birlhs.  "These  returns  were  made  by  the  school  committee,  and 
are  probably  correct." 

Beverly. — "  Although  these  returns  are  not  now  what  they  might  be  made  if 
all  did  their  duty,  yet  they  are  more  complete  than  any  previously  forwarded  from 
here,  and  I  think  that  the  arrangements  which  I  have  made  for  the  future  will 
hereafter  secure  you  pretty  accurate  returns,  always  excepting  the  marriages,  so 
long  as  clergymen  are  to  be  depended  upon  to  collect  and  furnish  the  particulars." 

Bradford. — Births.  "The  school  committee  made  no  return."  [Return  of 
births  not  received  in  time  to  be  included  in  the  tables.] 

Newbury. — Births.  "  I  have  delayed  till  almost  the  last  hour  allowed  to  make 
my  return,  with  the  hope  and  expectation  that  our  school  committee  would  per- 
form the  part  obligatory  on  them ;  but  I  have  waited  in  vain,  or  nearly  so,  as  only 
two  of  the  board  have  taken  any  interest  in  obtaining  the  number  of  births  in  the 
town  for  the  year  ending  May  I,  1847.  My  return,  therefore,  is  imperfect,  which 
I  very  much  regret.  1  think,  at  least,  there  must  have  been,  within  the  time  spec- 
ified, from  sixty  to  seventy,  whilst  I  am  only  able  to  return /o?-/!/-one." 

RocKPORT.— Marriages.  "  Clergymen  have  been  prompt  and  faithful  in  mak- 
ing their  returns."— iJeai^s.  "Much  aUention  has  been  paid  to  the  return,  to 
make  it  (as  it  is  believed  to  be)  quite  correct.  The  causes  of  death  have  not  been 
put  down  at  random,  but  the  several  practising  physicians  of  the  town  have  been 
frequently  consulted,  each  of  whom  has  kindly  and  patiently  rendered  all  required 


NOTES,  13 

information.  One  of  the  sextons,  also,  has  faithfully  performed  his  duty."  [Re- 
turns received  too  late  to  be  included  in  the  tables.] 

Saugus. — "  If  the  Legislature  would  so  change  the  law  as  to  make  it  one 
person's  duty  to  do  the  business,  and  pay  him  for  it,  I  think  it  would  be  better 
done." 

No  Return  from  Wenham;  and  of  births  from  Haverhill. 

MIDDLESEX  COUNTY. 

Acton. — "  Tlie  returns  are  not  made  in  full  to  me." 

AsHBT. — Births.  "The  school  committee  have  not  taken  any  pains  to  ascer- 
tain the  number  the  past  year." 

Ashland. — Deailis.  "I  suppose  the  whole  number  in  the  town  during  the 
year." 

Cambridge. — Births.  "More  full  than  some  which  have  preceded  it.  As  our 
city  contains  nearly  fifteen  thousand  inhabitants,  I  think  the  whole  number  of 
births  has  exceeded  five  hundred  during  the  year;  one  of  our  principal  physicians 
says  'at  least  six  hundred.'" — Marriages.  "The  return  is  very  imperfect,  em- 
bracing less  than  half  the  marriages  which  have  probably  been  solemnized  in 
Cambridge  during  the  last  year.  In  that  period,  one  hundred  and  seventy-three 
certificates  of  publishment  were  issued  from  this  office,  in  one  hundred  and 
twenty-nine  of  which  the  female  party  was  of  Cambridge.  Of  this  number,  only 
fifty-two  are  here  returned,  the  other  ten  marriages  being  of  persons  not  here 

published,  neither  of  the  parties  residing  in  this  city.     Rev.  Mr. ,  of  the 

catholic  church,  who  probably  solemnizes  more  marriages  than  any  other  one  in- 
dividual in  Cambridge,  has  never  made  a  return  to  this  office.     Rev.  Mr. , 

of  one  of  the  unitarian  churches,  has  made  no  return  since  his  settlement  in 
Cambridge,  some  fourteen  or  fifteen  years.  So  long  as  clergymen  disregard  the 
law  and  make  imperfect  returns,  or  none,  it  is  idle  to  hope  for  accuracy  or  full- 
ness in  the  general  annual  return  to  your  office." — Deaths.  "  The  return  em- 
braces nearly  all  which  have  occurred  during  the  year.  In  some  respects,  it  is 
imperfect,  but  it  is  the  best  which  the  materials  within  my  reach  enable  me  to 
make." 

Concord. — Births.  "I  have  not  received  the  returns  from  the  school  com- 
mittee." 

Groton. — Births.  "Not  all  returned  by  the  school  committee." — Marriages 
and  Deaths.     "Accurate  and  complete." 

HoLLisTON. — "  This  law  is  getting  into  favor  as  its  operation  is  seen." — Births. 
"  I  think  this  return  correct,  or  very  nearly  so.  Five  cents  each  is  quite  too 
small  a  fee  to  get  this  work  of  collecting  births  done  correctly." — Marriages.  "I 
have  used  your  certificates  for  the  last  few  months,  and  clergymen  like  the  plan, 
as  our  filling  the  blanks  relieves  them  of  one  very  unpleasant  part  of  their  duty. 
I  think  our  fee  too  small  for  this ;  one  can  afford  to  pay  a  dollar  if  he  gets  a  good 
wife,  and  I  certainly  would  charge  him  nothing  in  any  different  state  of  the  case. 
I  think  the  return  is  nearly  correct.  The  proper  officers  are  yearly  using  more 
efforts  to  perform  their  duty,  and  I  think  by  the  next,  they  may  be  perfect,  if  in- 
deed they  are  not  so  already.     I  think  the  registration  law  a  good  one,  deducting 


14  SIXTH  REGISTRATION  REPORT. 

a  few  small  imperfections,  and  hope  it  may  be  carried  into  effect  to  its  full 
extent." — Deaths.  "This  return  is  believed  to  be  correct;  but  I  think  if  one 
person  should  collect  all  the  births  and  deaths,  and  have  a  fair  compensation  al- 
lowed him,  the  returns  would  be  more  perfect ;  the  compensation  is  so  small,  that 
obedience  to  the  law  and  the  importance  of  the  matter  are  the  chief  incentives 
to  the  work,  and  the  best  reason  why  they  are  obtained  so  well  as  they  are." 

Lexington. — Deaths.    "The  return  is  not  correct,  in  consequence  of  the  death 
of  one  of  the  sextons,  and  from  whom  no  return  has  been  received." 
Lincoln. — Marriages.     "  All  that  have  been  returned." 
Lowell. — Marriages.     "  The  list  is  believed  to  be  complete." 
Natick. — "  When  I  made  the  last  annual  return  of  births,  marriages  and 
deaths  in  this  town,  T  thought  I  had  reason  to  believe  that  our  next  return  would 
be  more  perfect;  in  that  hope  I  have  been  wofully  disappointed.     No  return  has 
ever  been  so  meagre.     I  have  used  every  reasonable  means  in  my  power,  without 
resorting  to  physical  force,  to  accomplish  an  object  so  much  desired  as  a  correct 
return,  but  all  to  no  purpose.     The  law  is  a  dead  letter."     "I  believe  the  town 
clerks  discharge  the  duties  of  their  office  with  as  strict  fidelity  as  any  grade  of 
officers  in  the  Commonwealth  ;  but  the  Legislature  has  seen  fit  to  impose  a  fine  of 
ten  dollars  for  neglect  of  duty  in  making  their  returns,  while  all  other  persons, 
whose  duty  is  much  less  onerous,  go  free." 

Newton. — Births.  "Probably  above  one  hundred  in  reality." 
Tyngsborough. — Marriages.  "  Most  of  our  people  go  to  Nashua,  N.  H., 
where  they  are  married  without  being  published." — Deaths.  "  The  sexton  has 
never  made  a  return  of  deaths  ;  the  minutes  for  the  return  were  obtained  by  going 
to  the  sexton  and  copying  from  his  book  (very  imperfectly  kept),  and  by  informa- 
tion received  from  friends  of  the  deceased,  when  particularly  called  on  by  me." 

Westford. — Deaths.  "  I  am  unable  to  make  an  accurate  return,  although  I 
have  distributed  blanks  and  requested  that  they  should  be  filled  up  and  returned 
to  me.  The  return  contains  about  one  half  the  number  which  have  taken  place." 
WoBURN. — "  The  returns  are  as  perfect  as  I  could  possibly  make  them ;  I 
have  spent  more  time,  and  been  to  more  trouble  than  any  previous  year,  yet  it  is 
not  correct." — Births.  "  It  has  been  impossible  for  the  assessors  to  ascertain 
births  happening  in  some  families,  even  upon  inquiry  of  the  father  or  mother; 
some  forget,  when  called  upon  for  information,  that  any  event  of  the  kind  has 
happened  in  their  families,  it  being  with  them  an  occurrence  not  at  all  uncom- 
mon ;  others,  I  presume,  do  not  wish  to  have  it  known  that  the  population  of  the 
town  is  increasing  so  fast  as  it  actually  is.  The  following  will  show  the  number 
of  births  returned,  and  the  sources  from  which  the  information  is  derived."  "I 
am  inclined  to  think  that  these  are  all  the  births  that  have  happened  in  Woburn 
for  the  past  year.  The  fact  that  only  three  quarters  of  the  whole  number  of 
births  are  returned  to  me  from  proper  sources,  will  give  you  some  idea  of  the 
difficulties  of  making  out  a  full  and  perfect  record.  The  fault  is  not  owing  to 
the  assessors;  they  do  all  their  duty.  I  think  if  the  duty  of  ascertaining  births 
rested  with  town  clerks,  or  with  the  prudential  district  committees  rather  than  the 
town  committees,  some  of  the  difficulties  which  have  arisen  might  be  obviated  ; 
and  make  it  the  duty  of  fathers  to  return,  to  proper  persons,  all  births  happening 
in  their  families  within  a  limited  time,  or  be  subject  to  a  fine ;  and  further  make 


NOTES.  15 

it  the  duty  of  every  person  appointed  to  receive  such  returns  to  prosecute  all  vio- 
lations of  the  law,  or  be  fined  himself," — Marriages.  "  The  whole  number  of 
marriages  was  thirty.  The  number  of  intentions  of  marriage  entered  with  me 
was  fifty -six;  nearly  one  half  of  those  published  in  town  were  not  married  here." 
No  Retdrns  of  births  from  Jiclon,  Jlshhy,  Concord,  and  Stow ;  and  of  deaths 
from  Framingham,  Soinerville,  and  Waltrtown. 

WORCESTER,  COUNTY. 

Auburn. — Marriages.  "  Although  the  number  returned  is  very  small,  yet  it  is 
believed  that  it  is  correct.  It  is  accounted  for  by  the  fact  that  a  large  proportion 
of  persons,  intending  marriage,  make  a  short  tour  to  Connecticut,  and  come  back, 
having  carried  their  intentions  into  effect  under  the  liberal  and  summary  laws  of 
that  State." 

Berlin. — Marriages.  "  Three  couple  have  been  married  by  clergymen  out  of 
town,  who  have  not  made  returns  to  me." 

Blackstone. — Births.  "  The  return  is  not  as  accurate  as  I  could  wish,  but 
as  much  so  as  could  be  made  from  the  information  obtained." — Deaths.  "  Not 
accurate  in  some  respects.  Many  of  our  population  are  foreigners,  from  whom  it 
is  almost  impossible  to  obtain  information." 

Dudley. — "  The  clergymen  are  very  prompt  in  making  their  returns,  the  sexton 
rather  negligent,  and  the  school  committee  made  no  return  at  all,  nor  will  they, 
unless  there  is  a  penalty  in  the  law,  or  a  greater  compensation  to  induce  them." 

HoLDEN. — Births.  "  I  believe  the  return  is  correct." — Marriages.  "  I  believe 
the  number  to  be  correct." 

NoRTHBOROuGH. — Births.  "The  same  old  difficulty  remains  yet,  about  get- 
ting the  information  out  of  which  to  make  our  returns  ;  the  return  probably  em- 
braces less  than  one  half  of  the  births  in  this  town  for  the  year.  Only  two  out 
of  five  of  the  school  committee  have  made  any  return  at  all ;  they  were  furnished 
with  blanks  containing  the  proper  directions  for  their  proceedings,  also  a  request 
endorsed  on  them,  to  be  returned  on  or  before  the  first  of  June.  It  would  be 
about  as  cheap  to  pay  the  fine  and  let  the  whole  business  go,  as  to  try  to  keep  the 
records  under  present  circumstances.  There  are  several  deficiencies  in  the  rec- 
ord of  deaths,  also  some  in  the  marriage  record." 

Oxford. — Births.  "  The  school  committee  did  not  choose  to  collect  any,  and 
did  not  return  any  for  record.  The  town  clerk  for  the  past  year  died  about  the 
first  of  February,  and  he  had  made  no  record  since  the  last  return  ;  consequently 
there  are  none  to  return,  except  the  few  which  I  have  picked  up  in  my  vicinity." 
— Deaths.     "I  return  what  occurred  after  the  decease  of  the  former  town  clerk." 

Templeton. — Births.  "  The  return  is  very  imperfect,  not  containing  probably 
more  than  one  fifth  of  the  whole  number  in  the  town.  The  school  committee  in- 
formed me  that  they  had  made  arrangements  with  the  assessors  to  get  and  make 
to  me  a  return.     I  forward  all  which  I  obtained  from  thern." 

No  Returns  from  Upton. 


16  SIXTH  REGISTRATION  REPORT. 


HAMPSHIRE  COUNTY. 

Amherst. — Births.  "  Very  nearly  complete,  although  obtained  at  considera- 
ble trouble  on  my  own  part,  for,  had  it  been  left  to  the  school  committee,  it  would 
not  have  been  one  third  the  return  as  made." — Marriages.  "  All  returned." — 
Deaths.  "I  return  all  that  have  come  to  my  knowledge,  having  received  but 
^ight  certificates  from  the  sextons.  It  is  impossible  tor  the  town  clerk  to  make 
full  returns,  with  the  very  little  aid  he  receives;  and  until  the  Commonwealth  or 
town  are  willing  to  pay  sextons  and  others  as  much  for  services  as  they  can 
earn  in  sawing  wood,  they  will,  on  the  calculation  of  loss  and  gain,  take  care  not 
to  trouble  themselves  to  make  reports.  As  it  is  here,  the  clerk  must  do  all,  or 
nearly  all,  or  the  work  is  not  done,  and  the  returns  must  be  made  very  incom- 
plete." 

Belchertown. — "The  returns  are,  in  the  main,  correct,  although  it  has  cost 
me  considerable  effort  to  get  them." — Buths.  "  I  have  had  no  return  from  the 
school  committee,  but  have  registeied  them  as  they  have  come  to  my  knowledge, 
and  from  information  received  of  our  physicians.  There  seems  to  be  no  interest 
manifested  among  parents  to  have  the  births  of  their  ciiildren  registered,  and 
there  are  therefore,  without  doubt,  a  few  which  I  have  not  returned." — Marriages 
and  Deaths.     "I  believe  the  returns  are  correct." 

Easthampton. — Births.  "The  school  committee  have  made  no  return.  I 
have  been  waiting  for  them  to  make  a  return ;  therefore  I  have  not  the  informa- 
tion that  I  should  have  had  if  it  had  not  been  their  duty  to  make  a  return.  I  think 
that  if  it  was  made  the  duly  of  the  town  clerk,  or  some  other  man,  to  get  the  in- 
formation and  make  the  return,  and  a  reasonable  compensation  given,  the  returns 
would  be  more  perfect  than  (hey  now  are.  If  you  want  your  returns  correct,  the 
less  number  employed  in  making  them  the  better.  It  might  be  otherwise  in 
cities,  but  I  think  that,  in  the  country,  if  the  returns  were  made  wholly  by  one 
man,  they  would  be  more  correct." — Marriages.  "I  return  two,  which  is  all  that 
have  been  solemnized  in  town.  Some  have  gone  out  of  the  State." — Deaths.  "  We 
have  no  sextons,  which  is  the  case  with  one  half  of  the  towns  in  the  Slate." 

Enfield. — Marriages. — "All  which  have  taken  place;  although  four  couples, 
not  included  in  the  list,  have  been  married  out  of  the  Commonwealth." 

Greenwich. — "The  return  was  obtained  from  the  attending  physicians;  it  is 
not  definite." 

MiDDLEFiELD. — Morriages  and  Deaths. — "Atiuecopy  of  the  record,  and  as 
full  as  I  am  able  to  give." 

Pelham. — Births  and  Deaths.     "  I  have  no  return  or  record." 

Prescott. — Marriages.  "There  have  been  twelve  couple  published  the  past 
year,  but  only  one  half  that  number  have  been  married  in  Prescott,  as  appears  by 
the  return,  which  I  think  is  correct." 

South  IIadlf.t. — Births.  "I  believe  the  return  to  be  correct.  Several  mills 
were  burnt  in  May,  18-1(1,  and,  within  six  months,  sixty-five  families  left  town, 
from  whom  no  return  could  be  obtained,  which  accounts  for  the  falling  off  from 
previous  returns.'' — Marriages.  "  Probably  two  not  returned." — Dealhs.  "  The 
j-eturn  does  not  include  (hose  in  the  second  parish.     I  have  endeavored  to  obtain 


NOTES.  17 

them,  but  have  not  yet  succeeded ;  there  were  not  probably  more  than  three  or 
four  in  that  parish." 

Ware. — Deaths.  "The  return  is  imperfect;  probably  but  about  three  fourths 
of  the  real  number." 

Williamsburg. — Marriages.  "All  that  have  been  returned  to  me,  but  the 
whole  number  is  probably  ten  or  twelve." 

No  Returns  from  JVorwich;  of  births  from  Chesterfield  and  Easthampton; 
and  of  births  and  deaths  from  Pelham. 

HAMPDEN   COUNTY. 

Blandford. — Maniages.  "  All  that  have  been  returned  to  me,  but  I  think 
not  more  than  two  thirds  that  have  taken  place." 

Granville. — Marriages.  "Clergymen  fail  to  make  returns  to  me  regularly. 
I  have  supplied  the  record  as  far  as  my  knowledge  allows." — Deaths.  "For  the 
past  year  there  have  been  no  returns  rendered  to  the  town  clerk.  There  is  no 
regular  sexton  in  Granville,  although  there  are  eight  grav  e-yards." 

Palmer. — Deaths.  "  I  as  yet  have  never  been  able  to  get  any  returns  of  deaths 
in  our  place,  but  we  are  making  ariangements  this  year  so  as  to  get  them  as 
nearly  as  we  possibly  can." 

West  Springfield. — Births.  "  As  was  the  case  last  year  in  regard  to  the 
return  of  births,  so  it  is  this;  not  one  has  been  returned  to  me  by  the  committee. 
I  let  them  have  one  set  of  the  blanks  you  sent  me  in  the  spring,  and  as  they  have 
not  returned  them  up  to  this  date,  my  last  day  according  to  law,  I  think  they  are 
blanks  still.  While  F  am  liable  to  a  fine  for  not  returning  the  list  to  you,  the 
school  committee  do  as  they  please  about  collecting  and  sending  them  to  me  for 
record  and  return." 

No  Returns  of  births  from  Ludlow  and  M'est  Springfield;  and  of  deaths  from 
Granville  and  Palmer. 

FRANKLIN  COUNTY. 

Bernardston. — Births.  "The  return  was  prepared  by  Dr.  E,  W.  Carpenter, 
one  of  the  most  respectable  physicians  in  this  town,  and  is,  I  believe,  perfectly 
accurate.  Dr.  Carpenter  labors  in  this  matter  for  !he  good  of  the  public,  and  for 
posterity.  Will  not  every  town  in  our  beloved  Commonwealth  do  as  well  ?  I 
trust  it  will  soon  be  so." — Marriages.  "This  town  is  situated  on  the  line  of  the 
State  of  Vermont ;  in  that  State,  persons  are  married  without  any  previous  pub- 
lishment; many  persons,  therefore,  go  from  this  town  to  Vermont  to  be  married  ; 
the  number  I  have  no  means  of  knowing,  probably  four  or  five  couple  annually." 

Coleraine. — Births  and  Marriages.  "The  returns  are  as  perfect  as  could  be 
made  from  the  facts  received  at  this  office." 

Greenfield. — Births  and  Deaths.  "Never  returned  to  me." — Marriages. 
"All  that  have  been  returned  to  me." 

Heath. — Births.     "The  school  committee  made  their  return  so  incorrectly 
that  I  cannot  record  thpm." — Marriages.     "None  returned  in  the  form  for  return 
to  the  Secretary's  office." — Deaths.     "All  that  have  been  returned  to  the  clerk's 
office,  though  but  a  small  part  of  the  whole  number."

18  SIXTH  REGISTRATION  REPORT. 

Letden, — Births.  "Substantially  correct."— Marriages.  "All  that  have 
taken  place." — Deatlis.     "  Full,  and  substantially  correct." 

Orange. — Births.  "  The  return  of  the  school  conimitlee  was  very  imperfect 
in  part  of  the  town,  and,  so  far  as  I  have  been  able,  I  have  supplied  the  deficien- 
cies, but  many  names  and  dates  are  still  omitted." 

Shutesburt. — Births  and  Deaths.     "  No  return  has  been  made  to  me." 

Sunderland. — Deaths.  "The  return  is  not  perfect,  but  is  more  so  than  any 
former  one  I  have  made." 

Warwick. — Births.  "A  correct  return  of  all  that  have  occurred  in  town ; 
our  school  committee  have  spared  no  pains  in  their  duty  in  this  matter,  and  I  be- 
lieve they  have  been  Successful  in  making  a  very  correct  return  to  me." — Mar- 
riages. "  All  that  have  taken  place." — Deaths.  "  I  believe  the  number  is  cor- 
rect." 

No  Returns  from  Conicay,  JVorthfeld  and  Rowe;  of  births  and  deaths  from 
Greenfield  and  Shutesbury ;  of  marriages  from  Heath. 

BERKSHIRE  COUNTY. 

Alford. — Deaths.  "The  return  is  far  from  being  correct,  because  the  town 
has  not  complied  with  the  requirements  of  the  act,  and  chosen  a  sexton.  I  have 
obtained  the  particulars  myself." 

Becket. — Births  and  Deaths.     "  No  returns  have  been  made  to  me." 

Dalton. — Marriages  and  Deaths.  "  No  interest  is  taken  by  any  one  to  make 
returns,  or  inform  the  clerk  of  marriages  or  deaths.  Of  the  mortality  among  chil- 
dren, which  is  greater  than  usual,  I  have  not  been  able  to  obtain  the  particulars." 

Florida. — Marriages.  "For  the  return  for  this  town,  I  would  refer  the  Secre- 
tary to  the  justices  of  the  peace  in  the  town  of  Stamford,  Vt.  The  fees  and  de- 
lays consequent  on  a  publishment  of  the  banns  of  matrimony  are  more  than  the 
contracting  parties  are  generally  able  to  bear." 

Hancock. — Marriages.  "People  about  to  marry  generally  avail  themselves  of 
the  privilege  of  going  into  the  State  of  New  York  to  have  the  ceremony  per- 
formed. This  is  the  second  year  of  my  serving  as  town  clerk,  and  I  have  never 
been  called  upon  to  publish  a  couple  as  yet,  for  the  reason  as  above  stated." 

Lanesborough. — Births.  "  The  list  is  as  correct  and  specific  as  circumstances 
will  admit." 

Lee. — Births.  "  The  record  is  not  so  full  as  it  ought  to  be.  I  have  exerted 
myself,  since  I  came  into  office,  to  get  as  many  as  possible ;  but  after  all,  1  am 
satisfied  that  not  half  of  the  number  of  births  is  on  record.  I  spoke  early  to  one 
of  the  school  committee,  who  well  knew  his  duty,  but  he  has  not  made  a  single 
return." 

New  AsHFORD. — Births.  "I  believe,  all  that  have  taken  place.  I  have  ob- 
tained them  by  personal  application  to  the  parents." 

Plainfield. — Births.  "  The  school  committee  of  Plainfield  thinking  the  com- 
pensation for  ascertaining  and  reporting  births  to  the  town  clerk  insufficient,  and 
believing  that  no  penalty  is  annexed  to  the  neglect,  they  have  ever  omitted  to  do 
it  altogether.  I  have  taken  much  pains  to  ascertain  the  births  (although  I  think 
the  compensation  altogether  inadequate),  yet,  probably,  I  have  not  returned  every 


NOTES.  19 

one." — Deaths.  "  No  sexton  has  ever  reported  to  me  a  death.  I  have  learnt  the 
deatlis,  as  well  as  I  can,  from  the  clergymen  of  the  place." 

West  Stockbridge. — "I  have  delayed  making  my  returns  beyond  the  time 
required  by  law,  hoping  to  be  able  to  make  my  records  more  perfect ;  but  I  can- 
not obtain  the  information." — Births  and  Marriages.  "  I  think  the  returns  are 
perfect." — Deaths.  "  I  shall  never  be  able  to  make  a  perfect  record  of  deaths.  I 
suppose  there  have  been  twenty-five  or  thirty  during  the  last  year,  but  I  can  re- 
turn but  eleven." 

No  Returns  from  Cheshire,  Great  Barrington,  and  Sandisjield :  of  births  and 
deaths  from  Becktt ;  of  deaths  from  Dalton  and  Stockbridge. 

NORFOLK  COUNTY. 

Brookline. — Births.  "  The  return  is  believed  to  be  correct ;  it  was  made 
from  inquiry  made  at  each  house  in  town." — Marriages.  "  All  which  I  have 
been  informed  have  taken  place;  but  one  of  the  clergymen  has  made  any  re- 
turn."— Deaths.     "  A  correct  return." 

Cohasset. — Deaths.  "  As  we  have  no  superintendent  of  burying  grounds,  and 
every  man  employs  whom  he  will  to  bury  his  dead,  it  is  with  much  difficulty  that 
correct  information  is  obtained.  I  think  it  should  be  made  the  duty  of  clergymen 
to  fill  your  certificates  and  return  them  to  the  clerk,  and,  if  five  cents  won't  induce 
them  to  do  it,  fine  them  fifty  dollars  if  they  don't." 

Medwat. — "The  whole  number  has  not  been  returned  ;  it  is  hoped  that  the 
records  next  year  will  be  more  full." 

Roxburt. — "The  returns  are  very  nearly  correct,  as  much  so  as  is  possible, 
having  given  a  careful  attention  to  the  subject  myself." — Births.  "  The  returns 
were  taken  by  a  person  authorized  by  the  school  committee,  who  went  to  all  the 
families  in  the  city." — Marriages.  "  The  form  of  certificate  of  intention  of  mar- 
riage which  I  obtained  from  you  I  have  continued  to  use,  and  the  blanks  have 
been  filled  up  by  me  at  the  time  of  publishment,  thereby  saving  the  trouble  and 
inconvenience  to  the  persons  who  solemnize  the  marriage,  who  are  required  to  do 
it  at  that  time." — Deaths.  "  The  returns  were  made  by  the  undertakers,  who 
filled  out  blanks  which  I  obtained  from  your  office,  which  I  sent  to  them." 

Stoughton. — Births.  "  This  return  is  a  most  wretched  aflfair,  imperfect  in 
numbers,  many  not  being  returned  at  all,  and  some  with  only  the  month  the  birth 
took  place.  It  is  as  returned  by  the  school  committee,  save  some  few  corrections 
which  occur  from  my  own  knowledge." — Deaths.  "  The  return  is  believed  to 
contain  the  full  number." 

Weymouth. — Deaths.  "The  return  is  not  correct,  one  of  the  school  commit- 
tee (to  whom  T  am  indebted  for  the  return  of  deaths)  not  having  made  any  return, 
his  district  comprising  from  one  fifth  to  one  fourth  part  of  the  town." 

No  Returns  from  Braintree. 

BRISTOL  COUNTY. 

DiGHTON. — Deaths.  "  I  suppose  there  have  been  more  within  the  last  year,  but 
they  have  not  been  reported  to  me  in  a  way  which  I  could  record,  and  I  have 
made  personal  inquiries  for  most  I  have  recorded." 


20  SIXTH  REGISTRATION  REPORT. 

Fairhaven. — Birlhs.  "  The  school  committee  again  refuse  to  do  their  duty 
in  ascertaining  them,  consequently  there  are  no  returns." — Deaths.  "  One  sexton 
only  has  made  his  return  to  the  cleric's  office." 

NoRTox. — Marriages.  "  I  have  published  twenty-one  couples  ;  only  eight  have 
been  returned,  and  seven  of  them  by  one  person.  I  presume  all  the  persons  have 
been  married.  I  have  shown  the  law  to  a  number  of  clergymen ;  if  they  have 
joined  any  persons  in  marriage,  they  have  not  made  any  returns  to  me." 

Pawtdcket. — Births.  "I  believe  the  return  comprises  the  whole  during  the 
year,  and  the  information  is  as  full  and  correct  as  I  have  been  able  to  obtain,  after 
visiting  every  family,  personally,  under  the  direction  of  the  school  committee. 
My  opinion  is,  that,  if  it  were  made  the  duty  of  town  clerks  to  collect  births  and 
deaths,  the  returns  would  be  much  more  complete  and  satisfactory." — Marriages. 
"The  returns  are  as  near  complete  as  the  information  supplied  to  me  by  clergy- 
men will  admit.  I  hope  the  next  will  be  more  perfect,  as  T  have  adopted  the  plan 
recommended  of  getting  the  information  myself,  as  far  as  practicable." — Deaths. 
"The  return  is  very  incomplete,  owing,  mainly,  to  the  sexton's  failure  in  getting 
the  necessary  information;  I  have  been  obliged  to  collect  them  mostly  by  per- 
sonal inquiries." 

Seekonk. — Deaths.     "None  returned." 

Taunton. — Births.  "The  returns  have  been  faithfully  drawn  off  from  the 
separate  records  of  each  member  of  the  school  committee." 

No  Returns  of  births  from  Fairhavm ;  and  of  deaths  from  Dartmouth  and 
Seekonk. 

PLYMOUTH  COUNTY. 

Abington. — Births.  "  There  have  probably  been  some  others,  concerning 
which  I  have  not  been  able  to  obtain  information." 

Carver. — Birlhs  and  Deaths.     "I  have  received  no  returns." 

East  Bridgewater. — Deaths.  "The  returns  are  incomplete  as  to  number, 
and  in  some  other  respects.  There  are  two  sextons,  only  one  of  whom  has  made 
a  return  to  me." 

HiNGHAM. — Births.  "  I  have  been  waiting  for  a  full  return,  presuming  that 
this  does  not  contain  the  names  of  all  the  children,  and  have  concluded  to  wait  no 
longer,  but  return  the  names  of  all  that  I  have  received." 

Marshfield. — Births.  "  No  others  have  occurred." — Marriages.  "All  that 
have  taken  place,  with  the  exception  of  one,  which  has  not  been  returned  to  me." 
— Deaths.     "  No  others  have  occurred." 

Plympton. — The  town  clerk  reports  the  returns  as  embracing  every  birth, 
marriage  and  death  which  has  occurred  in  the  town. 

No  Returns  from  Middlehorough ;  of  births  and  deaths  from  DwrftMn/ ;  and 
of  deaths  from  Carver. 

BARNSTABLE  COUNTY. 

Wellfleet. — Marriages.  "  All  that  have  been  returned  to  me,  but  not  nearly 
all  that  have  occurred." — Deaths.  "Probably  the  return  contains  one  third  of  the 
number  which  have  occurred.    We  have  three  sextons  in  town,  and  I  have  asked 


NOTES.  21 

them  to  keep  a  list  of  the  deaths  in  their  own  parishes,  but  have  received  returns 
but  from  one;  therefore  you  can  see  the  inexpediency  of  depending'  upon  them." 

Yarmodth. — Marriages.  "  There  have  been  two  or  three  more,  of  which  no 
returns  have  been  made  at  this  office." 

No  Returns  from  Dennis  and  Truro. 

DUKES  COUNTY. 

TisBURT. — Deatlis.  "  The  return  contains  the  best  information  I  can  furnish. 
We  have  no  sexton  to  attend  to  the  duty  required  by  law,  consequently  I  have  at- 
tended Mo  it  myself,  and  have  gathered  the  facts  from  physicians,  and  others. 
There  have  been  six  or  eight  more  than  I  have  returned,  but,  as  they  have  taken 
place  in  a  remote  part  of  the  town,  I  could  not  obtain  the  particulars,  except  at 
considerable  trouble  and  expense."

40  SIXTH  REGISTRATION  REPORT. 


NOTES  TO  THE  ABSTRACTS  OF  DISEASES. 

It  has  been  considered  desirable  to  institute,  as  far  as  we  can  from  the  returns, 
a  comparison  of  the  prevalence  of  particular  diseases,  in  the  same  districts,  for 
different  years.  Boston  having  made  no  returns  of  deaths  for  the  last  four  years, 
the  County  of  Suffolk  is  excluded  in  the  several  abstracts  of  deaths. 

In  the  Tables  for  1847,  the  Alphabetical  Abstract  contains  the  names  of  the 
diseases,  generally,  as  they  appear  in  the  returns.  In  the  Classified  Abstract, 
they  are  arranged  after  the  plan  of  the  Registrar  General  of  Births,  Marriages 
and  Deaths  in  England,  with  some  alterations,  which  circumstances  in  this  country 
seemed  to  dictate.  They  are  numbered  for  the  purpose  of  convenient  reference, 
and  each  class  is  arranged  alphabetically.  The  numbers  in  parentheses,  in  the 
following  notes,  are  references  to  the  heads,  under  which  diseases  are  arranged 
in  the  Classified  Abstract.  Those  who  may  wish  for  a  more  particular  sub-division 
of  the  diseases  for  1847,  or  the  age  or  month  of  the  year  in  which  they  occurred, 
may  consult  the  Alphabetical  Abstract.

NOTE. 


The  number  of  the  stillborn,  in  1847,  ia  stated  above  to  be  149,  while  in  the 
table  on  the  next  page  it  is  33.  The  cause  of  this  disagreement  is  that  the 
first  number  (149)  was  abstracted  from  the  returns  of  the  deaths,;  and  the  second 
(33)  from  the  returns  of  the  births.  The  stillborn  should  always  be  fully  reported, 
both  among  the  births  and  deaths;  but,  having  never  lived  as  separate,  indepen- 
dent persons,  they  should  be  excluded  in  numbering  the  deaths.  This  has  been 
done  in  all  the  calculations  in  these  tables.  A  deduction  of  499,  for  causes  not 
specified,  leaves  10,317  as  the  number  of  deaths  for  specified  causes,  and  this  was 
the  basis  of  the  calculations.
