The Registration Service
The Registration Service records details of births, marriages and deaths, and keeps these records for posterity. Such records are a useful resource for anyone researching their family history.
Local authorities work in partnership with the General Register Office (GRO) for England and Wales. They send birth, marriage and death register information to the GRO to make up the national archive.
