Record type: Records of births, marriages, and deaths maintained by civil authorities. Civil registration was introduced under British rule. It was conducted at civil registry offices in larger cities. Prior to British occupation there was no distinction between records created by the church and those created by the state. Thus church records fill the civil registration niche prior to British civil registration.

Contents: Births – name; sex; day, month, year, and hour of birth; birthplace; status of legitimacy, father's name and residence, age, occupation, sometimes name of father’s father; mother's name and age, sometimes her birthplace and her father's name; witnesses' names. Marriages – name of bride and groom, date and place of marriage; age, place of birth, residence, previous marital status, occupation; names of parents, names of witnesses. Death – name of deceased, date and place of death, cause of death, residence, age, occupation, marital status, name of spouse, sometimes names of parents.
