Note


All persons are respectfully requested to examine the foregoing reports of births, marriages and deaths, and report to the Town Clerk any errors or omissions that may be discerned therein, so that the records may be corrected. An error in the record, other than a mistake in copying a certificate or return, can be corrected only in accordance with a deposition under oath, made by one who was required by law to furnish the information for the original record or by one or more creditable persons having knowledge of the case. (See General Laws, Chapter 46, Section 13.)


Births occurring late in the year are sometimes returned without the Christian name. In such cases parents should return the name to the Town Clerk as soon as selected, as incompleteness of the record may occasion trouble in the future.


Attention is particularly called to the following extracts from the General Laws.


GENERAL LAWS, CHAPTER 46. Extracts from Sections 1, 3, 4, 6 and S.


SECTION 1. Each city and town clerk shall receive or obtain and record facts relative to the births * *


* in his city or town.


SECTION 3. Every physician or medical officer registered shall keep a record of the birth of every child in cases of which he was in charge and shall, within fifteen days after such birth, mail or deliver to the clerk or registrar of the town where such birth occurred a report * * If the child is illegitimate, the name and other facts relating to the father shall not be stated except at the request in writing of both the father and mother filed. * Upon presentation to him of a certificate of the town clerk stating that any such birth has been duly reported, the town treasurer shall pay to such physician or officer a fee of twenty-five cents for each birth so reported. * A physician or any such officer violating any pro- vision of this section shall forfeit not more than twenty-five dollars. *


SECTION 4. A member or servant of a family in which a child is born, having knowledge of the facts required * shall furnish the same upon * request of the clerk of the town *


* or of any person authorized by him. (Penalty for refusal not more than ten dollars.)


SECTION 6. Parents, within forty days after the birth of a child, and every householder within forty days after a birth in his house shall cause notice thereof to be given to the clerk of the town where such child is born.


SECTION 8. (Penalty for neglect to comply with the provisions of Section 6, not more than five dollars.)


GENERAL LAWS, CHAPTER 207.


SECTION 36. If a marriage is solemnized in another state between parties living in this Commonwealth, who return to dwell here, they shall within seven days after their return, file with the clerk or registrar of town where either of them lived at the time of their marriage, a certificate or declaration of their marriage, including the facts required in a notice of intention of marriage.


SECTION 55. Whoever violates Section 36 shall forfeit ten dollars.


The Town Clerk hereby gives notice that he is prepared to furnish parents, householders, physicians and registered hospital medical officers applying therefor with blanks for return of births as required by law.
