Certificates: Births:
Birth certificates date from the 1st July 1837 (September quarter) when civil registration took over from church parish records. However, registration was not compulsory until 1875 so some early birth records may be missing. The intention is to obtain certificates for as many members of my direct ancestors as possible (see The Ancestors - page opens in a new window) and others that are of interest. You will note that on some of the earlier certificates an 'X' is often found as the mark of the mother/father. The majority of birth certificates presented here are copies obtained from the Records Office since 2003. However, some are scans of original period documents and a few are scans of certificates obtained as a result of family history research in the 1920's and perhaps earlier - the 1842 Jane Arlott baptismal certificate is dated 12th June 1911.

Certificates are presented here as thumbnails, if you click on the thumbnail image it will display in a new window. 

Many thanks to Patricia O'Shea for the O'Shea and McCarthy certificates and Robert Brian Sculfor for the Sculfor family certificates.
