Our knowledge of death rates in the first half of the 19th Century is obscured by the fact that the Civil Registration of births and deaths wasn’t introduced until 1855 – more than 50 years after the first Census. Even then, 42 per cent of deaths in Inverness went uncertified in 1891.
*GROS is responsible for conducting Scotland’s Census and recording births, deaths and marriages.
