                    [0] => European death registrations were compulsory from 1848. For Maori, it was compulsory to register deaths from 1913 and Maori death records were kept in separate registers. The Births and Deaths Registration Amendment Act 1961 repealed the separate handling of Maori registrations. These volumes provided an index to death registers for the New Plymouth area.
