Note: Researchers interested in Suffolk Co. 1880 Mortality Schedules should search both rolls 36 and 37 in case of disarrangement and/or different information on each roll. Researchers interested in Essex Co. 1880 Mortality Schedules should search both rolls 37 and 38, as there appears to be two sets of mortality schedules and most (if not all) towns will be found on both rolls.
