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).

For a list of the '''historic and current registration districts and their parishes''', see [https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/ESS.html UKBMD: Registration Districts in Essex]. | |||
