U.K. BIRTH,
MARRIAGE & DEATH INDEXES
FAMILY
HISTORY CENTRE MICROFILM & MICROFICHE NUMBERS
The attached files are intended as an aid to the
family history researcher who is looking for England & Wales Civil records from July 1837 to December 1920.
It should be noted, before looking at any film,
fiche or the Free BMD website, that the result of your search will only be an INDEX REFERENCE to the person you are
looking for. Using this index
reference, it will cost you less to order a certificate from the G.R.O.
Having been compiled by a resident of Durban, South
Africa, the column “Fiche Sequence”, if completed, refers to Microfiche in
stock at the Durban Family History Centre.
Similarly, the column “MOC No.”, if completed, refers to the film number
available for order ex Johannesburg.
To assist the researcher the column “FreeBMD %age”
relates to the percentage of records captured at that date by the website
FreeBMD (http://freebmd.rootsweb.com),
and will be updated periodically.
If the FreeBMD column shows 100% complete for a
specific quarter, then it is probable that you will not need to order the
microfilm/microfiche as a search of the website database should find the Volume
& Page number in the GRO Index, provided that you are searching in the
correct quarter. You can then order a certificate
for your relative/subject. Ordering of certificates
can be done Online at http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificate/index.asp#0,
but it would be wise to first look at the GRO website (http://www.gro.gov.uk/).
N.B. The
site owners of FreeBMD do not guarantee that all entries have been transcribed
even if a value of 100% is shown. They
also do not guarantee that there are no errors.
