Ancestry.ca and FamilySearch Announce Agreement to Digitize and Index Existing Canadian Censuses
11 November 2008
Joint initiative provides online access to a comprehensive collection of Canadian censuses
TORONTO, ON—Ancestry.ca, Canada's leading online family history website, is pleased to announce a joint initiative with FamilySearch International, a nonprofit organization that maintains one of the world's largest repositories of genealogical resources. The joint initiative will allow the organizations to improve online access to a comprehensive collection of Canadian censuses.
As part of the agreement, FamilySearch will digitize and index Canadian census records that Ancestry.ca has acquired. These digitized and indexed records will then be made available to Ancestry.ca members on the company's website, and in time the indexes will also be available to the public at FamilySearch.org. The images will be free to qualified FamilySearch members and all FamilySearch family history centers.
FamilySearch will deliver images and indexes to Ancestry.ca for censuses from 1861, 1871, 1881 and 1916 Censuses to launch online in 2009. In return, Ancestry.ca will provide images and indexes to FamilySearch for the 1851, 1891, 1901 and 1906 Censuses.
Karen Peterson, Marketing Director, Ancestry.ca, comments: "Teaming with FamilySearch will enable Ancestry.ca to significantly reduce the time and costs involved in delivering these important historical records online for our members. Also, it will free up resources for Ancestry.ca to invest in other historical records our members want made available online."
Paul Nauta, Public Affairs Manager for FamilySearch, comments: "FamilySearch is committed to providing economical access to more historical records quicker. The Canadian Census project with Ancestry.ca is in alignment with that directive for Canadian records and will be well received by anyone with Canadian ancestry."

ADOPTION
Although adoption and fostering have taken place informally for centuries, it was only in the 1920s that adoption became legally recognised in Britain.
Since then, nearly a million people have been adopted. Initially, adoptions were seen as a way of providing security for war orphans and children born to unmarried mothers.
The 1960s and 1970s saw major changes in adoption, fostering and childcare practices. While the number of babies available for adoption fell rapidly because of improved birth control and changing public attitudes,

Just seen this thread as a result of the 'nudge' but not yet read all 7 pages!
A recent comment about FreeBMD omitted that their 'View Images' is free, as far as it goes (currently 1935 for births)

Canadian Census
http://automatedgenealogy.com/index.html
Unfortunately its search function is a whole lot more annoying than Ancestry's, although its transcriptions are more accurate.
One thing I like to mention about it -- there is a linking project.
For people in the 1901 or 1911 census who were Home Children or who were in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces or who died in WWI or WWII, you can request that a link be set up in the census record to the Cdn govt pages for those records.
It's a bit of a nice memorial, and can help others find the info.

I am almost sure they would be kept with the original birth entries
You should approach the GRO Office and they will advise you
BIRTH
For the father to be named on the birth certificated when the couple are not married either
1 He is present at the registration
2 he provides a written consent for his name to be included
3 The mother makes a 'declaration'

If you have a Date of Birth, Marriage or Death then you can apply by post for the Certificate or in the case of Northern Ireland by post or phone.
However, you will need to know WHERE the event took place.
NORTHERN IRELAND GRO:

The Beginnings of Registration
In 1845 legislation came into force which provided for the registration of civil marriages in Ireland and for the regulation of all non Roman Catholic marriages. It also created the Office of the Registrar General who remains to this day responsible for the collation and custody of all birth, death and marriage records.
Further legislation, which became operative in 1864, provided for the inclusion of Roman Catholic marriages, together with birth and deaths. A comprehensive registration system was now in place.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SOUTHERN IRELAND (Eire) GRO:
http://www.groireland.ie/
Our records of marriages other than Roman Catholic marriages date back to 1st April 1845 . Records of Births, Deaths and Roman Catholic Marriages date back to 1st January 1864
NB. For those who are looking for certificates relating to Co. Dublin only and you dont have a date..
I have obtained plenty of my family certificates by sending the application forms (printed off from the Southern Ireland website) and sending them to the Dublin Records Office with an accompanying letter stating that I don't have a date but they were probably married/born around 18xxx and could you search for 10 years back from 18xx. It costs a bit extra, but it saves you having to apply again, as they will normally search 4 or 5 years from a given approx year on your application form.

Ireland.
NEW ADDRESS FOR DUBLIN RECORDS OFFICE
The research room at the General Registers Office in Lombard Street, Dublin has been transferred.
The new location is on the
3rd Floor
Block 7
Irish Life Building
Lower Abbey Street,
Dublin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LOTS OF IRISH BIRTH RECORDS ON THE LDS website,
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?
especially between 1864 and 1880. Most of these are 'Extracted birth records from the records listed in the locality'. Lots of earlier ones from the 1600 and 1700's. Not so many from 1800 - 1859.
If you find a record on the IGI section of familysearch.org/ website that you think is one of your ancestors, you can apply for the Birth, Death or Marriage certificate too from the appropriate GRO if the record states that it was an Extract from the civil registration records....
Be wary though that 'Records submitted by a Members of the LatterDay Saints' are not always correct.

Between 1869 and 1950s over 100,000 children were shipped to Canada, Australia and South Africa.
Many were not orphans but were deserted or sent without parental consent and listed below are some of the best sites to use:
There are are many children in there who were born and sent between censuses.
So do not actually appear on any UK census.
So please search for your surnames in the databases and help raise awareness of these schemes.

Boer War research:
1901 CENSUS
Personnel serving in South Africa at the time of the 1901 census are not included on the census. However it should not be assumed that anyone missing from the census was serving in South Africa. There could be any number of reasons for this, not least the recently disclosed fact that hundreds of thousands of names have been inadvertently omitted from the 1901 census database.
