- Notes
- Foot-note (marked *) signed by G. E. Morris, M.A., Chaplain, dated 3rd December 1864 — read at the register: "this man died in the civil hospital at this station. this was the name returned in the funeral roll, but others say his name was Oscar Bunglas. the said person had no relations alive and was in fact himself of illegitimate birth. the note is made by me this 3rd day of Dec 1864." One word in the footnote is paraphrased (the connector between "the" and "had no relations" is hard to read in person; narrative meaning preserved). Dual-numbered: No. 147 (1856-65 series) / No. 412 (old running series). [Correction, confirmed against the original register scan: age 27 → 37 years.]
