Lancashire BMD "Register Offices in the county of Lancashire, England, hold records of local births, marriages & deaths back to the start of civil registration in 1837. The county's Family History Societies are collaborating with the local Registration Services to make the indexes to these records freely searchable via the Internet." Please note: Information for the St Helens area is limited at the moment, but births from 1837 until the early 1900s are included. The references found on this site are for use with local Registry offices (and not with the GRO). http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/ |

London Gazette Despite the title, this publication covers all of England and there are links to the Edinburgh and Belfast editions on the title page. It can be very useful if any of your ancestors ran a business, had a career in the armed forces (promotions etc) or were lucky enough to move in society circles. It is basically an archive of official announcements. http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/ |
