-Civil registration (vital) records were created by the government and include births, marriages, and deaths. They are commonly referred to as vital records because they pertain to critical events in a person’s life. They are an excellent source of information for names, dates, birthplaces, marriages, and deaths. These records may also include divorce records.

+==Historical Background==
+Civil registration of births, deaths and marriages was introduced in England in 1837 but was not made compulsory until 1875.<ref>Chas. H.

However, the schemes implemented were ahead of the mother Parliament by requiring from the beginning '''compulsory''' civil registration soon after the event.
