Additional Notes: Most vital statistics entries are for the 1820s and 1830s. Microfilm 12648 contains one book from the original Record Book of the Township of Londonderry, beginning in 1813. It contains births, marriages and deaths (in no particular order), transcripts of some paternity agreements, minutes of township meetings (including reports from the overseers of the poor and collections), and sheep marks. Microfilm 12649 contains "Londonderry, Colchester Co. Township Records" in two volumes. Volume 1 includes the Londonderry Township Meeting Minutes; these minutes appear to be the same as those on microfilm 12648, except they begin in 1816 rather than 1813. Volume 2 includes the Londonderry Register Book but isn't the same records as those on microfilm 12648. MG 4 vol. 150 is a typed copy of the Truro Township Book and contains a section regarding Londonderry Township. These records are the baptisms from the Londonderry Mission, Rev. Fred. J.H. Axford, 1873-1889.
