Online Index to the Registration of Births,
Marriages and Deaths
Since 1837 any Births, marriages and deaths,
had to be registered with a local Registrar who issued a certificate relating
to that event. Copies of these events were sent to the National Registrar's
Office and a national Index was produced. Scanned pages of these
Indices are now available online to search and download (save to your own
computer) for a small charge of 55 pages for about £5. uk pounds.
Consult the registration
of Births, Marriages and Deaths Index 1837-2002.
