I hope someone can help me understand how to find death records.
For instance, I tried to find a record for Marciala Guerrero in the
Defunciones Civil Records for Jalisco, Tlajalmulco, 1917-1924. In the
index where I found her name (image 385) there was #159 before her name
and #51 after. What do the numbers refer to? I never did find this record.
Is there some kind of order as to how to find the index? In searching one
by one, I found several records for children within the same pages, so I
wondered if this was done for a reason.
Thanks.

Marciala Guerrero de 90 años
El Número que está antes del nombre es el número del acta y el que está después es el número de la página del libro.
Ve a este enlace https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1951-21282-27053-65?cc=1918187…
es la imagen 463 Y puedes ver arriba el número 51 y la segunda acta comienza "al margen número 159 etc. ...."
Esa es el acta que buscas de Marciala Guerrero que murió de 90 años.

Trying to understand Mexican death records
Hello Nancy,
In the civil records that I have looked at in Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco state
that they are transcriptions of the original records and I deduced that they
also wrote the numbers of the original records in case they needed to be
referred to.
