Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 0 Send Message	I'm just on 1837(.)com and wondering why that when my relatives are typed in complete with full birthdates they don't show? is there some strange reason as to why, don't they all have to be on the list, why is this happening!

	I think it was quite a while after 1837 that birth registartion was compulsory. In fact it was 1875 - read this page, it has lots of useful information http://globalgenealogy.com/globalgazette/gazfd/gazfd27.htm (remove )
