We have recently published a continuation (Volume 7) of previous publications entitled ‘Deaths as Reported in the Inverness Journal and Northern Advertiser’. This volume with over 60 pages, covers the years 1835-1836 and 1840-1842. As mentioned previously, prior to 1 January 1855, when Civil Registration was introduced into Scotland, records of death were part of the local church parish records. As these have not survived well for Inverness (likewise for a number of other local parishes), entries in newspapers were widely used to give intimations of death and do give relevant biographical information, for those persons who died locally and especially for those persons dying further away, particularly abroad. This volume costs £4.00 plus P&P and can be purchased from our website:
