 == Museums ==
+For a long list of Staffordshire museums, go to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_museums_in_Staffordshire '''List of museums in Staffordshire'''] in Wikipedia.
-=== Newcastle Borough Museum & Art Gallery ===

+----
-:We collect objects that relate to the history of the Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme. Our job is to look after and show these objects to reflect the lives of local people from days gone by. We have over 28,000 objects in the collections. When you visit us you will discover many wonderful things from our collection on display in our eight galleries. You can find out about ‘Pomona’ Pottery, toys from the past and Newcastle during the two world wars. You can peer through our Victorian shop windows where you will see marvellous ‘cures’ in our chemists shop, scary tools in our doctors surgery and all sorts of strange things in our pawnbrokers shop.
-=== Potteries Museum & Art Gallery ===
 '''Potteries Museum & Art Gallery'''<br>Bethesda St<br>Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire ST1 3DW UK<br>Telephone: 1782 232323<br>
 Website: [http://www.stokemuseums.org.uk/visit/pmag/ Potteries Museum & Art Gallery]
-:Travel back in time and discover the history of The Potteries including the world’s greatest collection of Staffordshire ceramics, a World War II Spitfire, decorative arts and natural history. See items from the Staffordshire Hoard on display and visit the museum café and shop.  A warm and friendly welcome awaits at one of Britain’s leading museums where the unique combination of ‘product and place’ is celebrated in its outstanding displays.  With pottery that will win your heart, galleries that win awards and the Spitfire that won a war, nothing can compare with what awaits you at The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery.
+==Civil Registration Offices==
+The [https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ '''General Register Office'''] holds a central copy of all birth, marriage, and death registrations in England. These certificates can be ordered from their [https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ '''website'''] (a login is required but it is free to register and search). However, in some cases research can be more efficient working with the smaller, more specific records collections of county/district registry offices.
+----
+Sometimes research might be required to determine where a town or parish was in a former registration district, or even its current district.  For a list of the '''historic and current registration districts and their parishes''', see [https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/STS.html UKBMD: Registration Districts in Staffordshire].
