The registry offers free online historic index searching of births, deaths and
marriages from 1841.
To search from the index select from the drop down box below for births, deaths
and marriages.
The more details you enter, the more filtered your search results. If you are
unsure of spelling, try typing the first couple of letters of a name. For
example, enter "math" if you don’t know if you are looking for "Mathieson" or
"Matheson".
To further broaden your search you can prefix the field with the ‘%’ key. For
example, if you type ‘%Mary’, the search will return all instances of that name
contained anywhere within that field eg Mary Jane, Emily Mary, Maryllia, etc.
Similarly, if you enter ‘%Ver’, the search will list all instances of that
string of letters contained anywhere within that field eg Vera, Veronica,
Oliver, Beverley, etc.
