*Late registrations of births and deaths are indexed separately at the end of each index volume.
*Surnames are often spelled differently than expected.
*Surnames with prefixes, such as O'Brien or McDonnell, may be listed without their prefixes (Brien, Donnell).
*Events are filed by the date they were registered, not the date they occurred and may therefore be indexed in a later volume. (For example, a birth on 20 December 1879 which was registered on 6 January 1880 will be listed in the January-March volume of 1880.)
*Indexes were hand-prepared and may contain errors, such as copying mistakes (for example, the interchange of T and F) and missed entries.
*Occasionally, people were registered under a variation of their first name, other than that recorded at the time of their birth or death. For instance Ted for Edward or Molly for Mary.
*In error, some marriages have been indexed by the name of only one party.
*If a woman was married previously, then her surname in the marriage index might at a later marriage be her surname from a previous marriage and not her maiden surname.
*Vital information provided by the family ('''particularly age at death''') is often incorrect.
*People with prolific first names or surnames are sometimes difficult to distinguish in the index.
*Children born before their parents were married may be listed under the mother's maiden name.
*Some children are simply listed as male or female if they were not named by the time of registration.
*Some events were not registered, even though registration of births, marriages and deaths was required by law.
If, after considering the above factors, you cannot find a civil birth, marriage, or death certificate for your ancestor, you may want to search church or other records.
