Birth registrations – England and Wales

Before using any of these records, please read the notes below the table and at About birth, marriage and death records.

Civil registration of births in England and Wales was introduced in 1837. These records include more than 110 children whose births were not registered, but who can be identified from another source – such as a baptism record or census return. They also include children whose name in their registration record differs from the name on their birth certificate.
