Paul Birth, Marriage and Death Certificates came into force in July 1837. However, it was not compulsary to register any of these events until 1875. Joy |

Civil registration began 1st July 1837. Before that date, you need to look in parish registers for baptisms, marriages and burials. nell |

What year did birth certificates come into force? I have traced a branch of my family tree to a George Whitehead who was bron around 1836 and died in 1891, I can find his death certificate, but not his birth or marriage certificates. I though that maybe certain certificates became commonplace later on. |
