General Register Office for England and Wales

Registration of Births, Marriages and Deaths in England and Wales

Civil registration of births, marriages and deaths began in England and Wales on 1st July 1837. The country was divided into registration districts under the control of Superindentent Registrars. Every quarter, the Superintendent Registrar passes details of births, marriages and deaths to the Registrar General in London where quarterly indexes are compiled. Over the years the subdivision of the country into districts has changed and further details have been added to the published indexes.

1852 Regional areas altered
1866 Death indexes show the age of the deceased
1911 From September the mother's maiden name shown in the birth indexes
1912 The index of marriages includes the spouse's name

The lists of Lanfear births, marriages and deaths are substantially complete apart from the most recent events. It is inevitable that in such a large quantity of data, there will be errors and omissions. Mistakes are being revealed and corrected by comparing the data with the FreeBMD database.

Information on a few individuals married to a Lanfear is also included.
