Bromley Poor Law Union Deaths 1907-1914

This record held at Bromley Historic Collections amongst the Inmate series is held under reference GBy/W/I/d/1 and the transcript I prepared is available at Kent Online Parish Clerks.
Entries contain an age (although not always reliable) Religion,Parish of origin within the Union and place of burial and who was responsible for burial.
This information reflects that infants and elderly persons predominate although there is a distribution of children and young adults. Together with the Creed Registers for the union the detail of parish and places of burial are useful pointers to other records for further information for family history research.
The use of cemteries as well as Parish burial grounds as places of burial is also useful in considering locating graves.
I have checked and recorded civil registration information where it differs in age or name from the Workhouse record.
