Greetings again,
I finished examining the 1867 registers today and will post what I have
copied.
However, the following five pages I copied, not because they were of
interest to me, but that they might be of some help to someone else. The
first two list the death of a child on board a ship who is recorded as a
native of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Then they record the death of the child's
father, master of the ship, from a different disease, two weeks later.
The last three pages have deaths for the same family group albeit different
generations. The name caught my eye so I copied them. Hope they are of help
to someone.

Info as follows:
Name, age, date and place of death
Marital status, trade (if any)
Parents
