On this page you will find links to all the county websites that offer online transcribed indexes to the original records held by the local register offices. Searching these records should be your first choice. If the county that you are interested in does not have their local BMD records on-line yet or the data has not been transcribed yet, then try entering your names of interest in the search box at the bottom of this page.
For more information about the Local BMD websites visit the Local BMD Project page.
Several of these websites offer online ordering of copy certificates and will steer you through to the online ordering process after you complete your searches. For other areas, you might find that the local register office has its own online ordering system, separate to these search websites. These can be found listed on the Certificates page.
The first set of link are to the websites that are part of the Local BMD Project , followed by the others, which offer a similar search of their register office BMD data, but use different software to achieve this.
A discussion on Early Civil Registration can be found on the National Archives website.
