| On the 15 November, 1865 Grenada created an Act for registering Births, Deaths, Baptisms, Marriages and Burials. It was created to ensure a complete Register of Births, Deaths, Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials of all the people on the Island. It became the responsibility of the Registrar-General and District Registrars for the parishes, to once every year, make a duplicate and general abstract from the Register books, of the number of births, deaths, baptisms, marriages, and burials registered during the year preceding and the Registrar-General would also, make and keep tabular alphabetical indexes from the schedules.

| It is also the Registrar-General role, at the public expense, to ensure a sufficient number of register-books, duplicates, necessary for each rector and curate of the district and ensure that they should be of durable materials.
| |
| The rector or curate of every parish, and every other recognised minister of religion on the Island, shall make out and deliver to the Registrar-General a true return in duplicate certified by him of the number of baptisms, marriages, and burials in the register-book kept by him. Further any person who willfully destroyed or caused to be destroyed any register-book would be guilty of felony.
