==Civil Registration 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). | |||

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/bre.html Civil Registration districts in Brecknockshire] between 1837 and 1974. | |||
