Coverage, survival & limitations

England and Wales civil registration

The GRO holds registered births, marriages and deaths from 1 July 1837. Its public index lists basic details; certificates, PDFs and online images are separate access products. Parish registers are needed for earlier research.

Reading the evidence: an index, transcript, provider search page and original image are different sources. A recorded image link does not mean its reading or identity match is confirmed. Inspect the assessment and source page before changing a family relationship. Repository guides checked 4 October 2026.
