Death Registrations 1864-1877, 1908-1971; City of Halifax 1890-1908

Civil registration of deaths in Nova Scotia began in 1864, continued to 1877, then lapsed until 1908, when the province resumed record-keeping. Registrations for 1864-1877 are incomplete. There are two registers for the city of Halifax 1890-1908. Since 1 October 1908, the records have been maintained without interruption.
