About the GRO Indexes Civil registration of births, deaths and marriages for England and Wales began on 1 July 1837. These records are held at the Family Records Centre, London. (Previously they were held at St Catherine’s House). The indexes to these records have been microfiched, and the NZSG has purchased fiche for the period 1 July 1837 to 31 December 1992.
Please note that the index covers only England and Wales, not other parts of the UK. Each year is divided into 4 quarters ending 31 March, 30 June, 30 September, and 31 December. Indexing is based on the date of registration, not the date of the actual event. This is an index only and does not contain full details from the certificates. Once you have received your reply you will have the information you need to send for a copy of actual birth, death or marriage certificates.
