VPRS 10262 Information Forms for the Registration of Deaths (DESTROYED 2014)

This series consisted of bound volumes containing information forms for the registration of deaths in the state of Victoria. The information was transcribed into VPRS 8340 Death Register.On 1 October, 1960 the "Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages Act" 1959 came into operation, allowing registration of births and deaths to be effected by post instead of personally by attendance before a Registrar of Births and Deaths.
