The Almshouse registers record male, female and child residents of the house separately by year. At the close of the entries each year Almshouse record keepers tallied up statistical information regarding inmates of the house. Today these aggregates provide useful insight into the makeup of the Almshouse over time. Information recorded often included the number of adult male and female residents and the number of child residents who remained in the house from the previous year and were carried over on the books to the new year. They also record those children born in the house, how many residents of each subgroup were affected by cholera and other diseases, were considered emigrants, and where in New Brunswick they were from. These recapitulations were not recorded in standardized form and have been transcribed as they appear in the original. Users will view the original page on which the transcript appears and may download and view a transcript of the aggregate.
