==Civil Records 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. | |||
<br> | |||
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/cnw.html UKBMD: Registration Districts in Cornwall]. | |||
