Death Record Extract from Meriden CT City Clerk's Office

The information in these tables was gathered by Gerry Ashton from the death record volumes in the Meriden, Connecticut City Clerk's office on May 29, 2007. The indicies were consulted, as well as the volumes that listed detailed information (organized by date). No attempt was made to find individual death certificates. Note that Mr. Ashton was admitted to the vault because he is a member of the Connecticut Society of Genealogists.

The format of the data varied over the years, so the order and exact wording in the record may not be identical to this table. A dash in a table cell indicates a handwritten or typed dash or line in the record book; the word "blank" means the corresponding cell in the record book was empty, and an empty table cell means there was no such cell in the record book. The cause of death fields may be summarized.

The "Condition" row in the table indicates whether the person was single, married, or a widow.

* I did not take complete notes on James E. Feldhouse because while I was in the Clerk's vault, I did not think he was related to me.
