Births, Deaths and Marriages

The General Register Office's index to births, deaths and marriages is our most popular research tool for family historians. These records cover every individual in England and Wales from 1837 onwards. The most recent year available is 2002.

If your family lived outside of England and Wales, you may be able to trace them through the use of the Overseas Military and Consular Records at the History Centre.

Our parish register collections cover Brighton and Hove parishes, but we also have records for London and other parts of the UK. Comprehensive lists of our parish registers can be found on our Handlists page

Much of this material is available on microfilm and microfiche, so it is advisable to book the appropriate reader in advance. Please contact us to book.
