Please excuse a shameless #OnePlaceWednesday plug for my talk about Dr John Cordy Keer, Medical Officer of Health for the Plomesgate District which covered my #OnePlaceStudy of #Sudbourne. It goes live at 8am tomorrow. If the role sounds bureaucratic & boring, think again… #AATP #AATP26

Handwriting can be difficult where lengthy causes of death are fitted into small spaces. Doctors' signatures may also be challenging to read. For some of the records we will do them in person at the Hold, Ipswich; & we will recruit for this later. Interested? Contact me chair@suffolkfhs.org.uk

The digitised registers can be transcribed remotely using an internet-connected computer; no special software required. We provide website access, login details, a how-to guide & ongoing support. You work at your own pace. NB the records cover all ages & may contain distressing information.

Ipswich's Vaccination Death Registers include most of the info found on death certs. The Medical Officer of Health recorded deaths of all ages—not just those occurring shortly after birth which means they are a great resource for family and social historians.

Suffolk FHS are working with Suffolk Archives, University of Cambridge and others to transcribe the Ipswich vaccination registers. Records for 1876–1910 were done some ago and are searchable on Suffolk FHS website. We are extending the coverage to deaths from 1911.
