A valuable, but time-consuming, source of information for events occurring after 1886 is the section of vital statistics, which is provided in a section of the Annual Town Reports of many New Hampshire towns. This work is divided into births, marriages and deaths;and each section is arranged alphabetically. To the extent the information is available, the birth entries contain: child's name;date and place of birth;number of children in the family;father's name, place of birth, age and occupation;and mother's maiden name, age and place of birth. Marriages entries generally include (where available): groom's name and residence;bride's name and residence;date and place of marriage;ages and occupations of bride and groom;number of the marriage;father's name, place of birth and occupation;mother's name, place of birth and occupation. Maiden names are emphasized with bold type and there is a separate alphabetical listing of marriages by bride's name. Death entries include (where available): name of the deceased;place and date of death;age at death;cause of death;marital status;birthplace;father's name and place of birth;mother's name and place of birth.
