Brentford UDC Mortuary Records, 1899-1909

Janet McNamara prepared the following index, which she believes is for the mortuary at Park Road cemetery, Isleworth; the register turned up in a car boot sale! The records cover bodies admitted between January 25th 1899 and September 14th 1909.

Entries have been recorded under Name of Deceased, Sex, Age, Cause of Death, Place where found, Name and address of person who brought the body to the mortuary, Name and address of the person who found the body, Date when brought to Mortuary, Date removed for Burial, Post Mortem made by, Date of Inquest, Certificate of Death given by, Remarks.

In 2015 Janet provided copies of local newspaper accounts of six drownings; the date of such an account is in brackets in the Remarks column: please email for a copy. The Coroner remarked at the inquest into the death of Herbert J Pearce in 1900 that it was a rather peculiar fact that of people whose occupation was chiefly concerned with the water - fishermen and bargemen - not one in fifty of them could swim.

I have split Janet's index into two tables, the first showing the deceased; also'non-professionals' who became involved; the second shows the professionals.

Table 1 - the deceased; also non-professional parties involved

Deceased are shown below with an address, if known, year of death and page number; and sometimes other details such as the age of the deceased or nature of their demise.

This table also includes the names of those who found the body or took them to the mortuary: these entries just show the page no.

NB some details in the original register have not been included as they may relate to readers' parents or grandparents: there are cases of suicide and neglect of children. If you wish to know more about a case, please contact the Local Studies Section at Chiswick Library. Online newspapers may provide more detail about the circumstances of the death: eg the British Newspaper Archive and findmypast sites.
