The list of Athol Births, Marriages and Deaths comprised in this volume includes all that were found in the Town Books covering the period from the earliest date there recorded to the end of the year 1849. Some additions have been made from other sources, and these are indicated in each instance by proper reference. This book consists of a listing of over 3,500 births, 1,138 marriages (naming 2,276 individuals) and 1,470 deaths, for a total of 7,275 persons. Most of the marriage records show the man's full name and women's full (maiden) name. Some of the records show the people's place of residence, and some of the death records show cause of death and "Age at the time of death" so a birth year could be calculated.
