Entries in death register are often transcriptions of the actual death certificate or the information that was given or submitted to the informant. This 1883 death register entry was filled out by the clerk who took the information from the certificate that was completed by the informant (in this case the doctor). If the entries in the ledger are all “in the same hand,” they were filled out by a clerk and not the actual informant.
