Each entry in the Register of Deaths includes:

The Paupers’ Service Book is a register of children placed in work or training between 1877 and 1914. The children, both boys and girls, were aged between eight and nineteen years. Although the majority of the children were engaged to serve local tradesmen and farmers some of the boys were placed on naval training ships, in military service or sent to serve the owners of fishing smacks in Great Grimsby and elsewhere. Between 1890 and 1906 around twenty children were sent to Canada. The Windsor Poor Law Union was formed on 7 September 1835 and initially comprised the parishes of Clewer, New Windsor with Dedworth, Old Windsor and Sunninghill [all Berkshire] and Egham and Thorpe [both Surrey].
