View the Death books on film at the Genealogical Society of Victoria or the Geelong Heritage Centre - the following details are sometimes included:
- Patient's Name
- Date of admission
- Date of decease
- Number in Patients' Register
- Number in Benevolent Asylum Register
- Where buried
Notes:
- Names are alphabetical by year
- The years are not always in sequence
- Names for a particular year may be found listed at the end of the previous year
- Some names are very difficult to decipher and further searching of a death notice in the Geelong Advertiser may be necessary
- Some entries for "I" are listed in the "J" section
- The register numbers can then be traced in the relevant registers for the Infirmary or Benevolent Asylum registers if they exist
- Many names / dates from the index have been checked against the Geelong Cemetery Trust burials and/or the Victorian BDM indexes - where they differ from the Death Books index name, both names have been entered i.e. WHALEN or WHELAN
