note:The weeks tabulated here are composed of seven or eight days to accommodate
months of twenty-eight, thirty, or thirty-one days. This is done to standardize four units of
time each month, making comparisons of seasonal cycles more understandable. The parish
register for the year listed burials daily beginning on January 1, a Sunday. This tabulation
differs from the Greater London Bills of Mortality, which tabulated the week from Tuesday
to Monday (listed as Tuesday–Tuesday).
