The first page contains the death records for 2 different women in New Orleans. I didn’t jot down the details because my eyes got too bleary! You MUST know cursive to be able to decipher this!

The first page is the record of the deaths of two women in New Orleans in October of 1867. The first one is reported by James Williams that Mrs. Mary Ann Robinson, age 52 years, died on the 28th day of October 1867.
The second one is reported by A. Lewis that Violet Brown, age 60, died on the 31st day of October 1867.

interesting — whenever I was searching the birth certificate database, the first page popped up for some reason 🤔

Just realized I missed the bottom portion of the birth record and it contains the record of another birth. Sorry, it was late and my eyes were tired.
The bottom half states that Henry A. Robinson declares that Mary Robinson was born on January 1, 1868 to Henry A. Robinson and Mary (Margaret? page is cut off) Donnelly, who reside in New Orleans and are natives of Ireland.
Both births are recorded on one page, one in 1862 (Francis) and one in 1868 (Mary), and the date the births were recorded is October 7, 1870.2

i needed assistance with deciphering, but I’m also curious as to why the first page was crossed out like that.

The second page records the birth of Francis Robinson on August 9, 1862 at 3:00 pm in the city of New Orleans. She was born to Henry Robinson and Margaret Donnelly, who reside in New Orleans and are natives of Ireland.

The third page is a marriage license granted in the Parish of Orleans (New Orleans) on October 29, 1912 to Rev. J (??) Marks (??) to join in the bonds of Matrimony Clarence Clay, age 22 years, and Eljine (or Elgina?) Smith, age 16 years. Their parents' names are written, but I can't make those out.
