Records of deaths occurring in each New Hampshire town or city have been kept by town clerks since the early 1600s. Statewide registration began in 1866. Total compliance with the law was not accomplished until the 1880s, and even then the practice was not uniform. By this point, less than half of the population was listed in the death records. Total compliance began in 1905 with the establishment of the Bureau of Vital Records. | Records of deaths occurring in each New Hampshire town or city have been kept by town clerks since the early 1600s.
