 General Register Office


Last November, the United Kingdom's General Register Office (GRO) launched its own online birth and death indexes.  The GRO is the official/government keeper of birth, marriage and death records commencing July 1837. They also added additional information that did not appear in the original quarterly indexes, including mother's maiden name.  Previously, only records after September 1911 included the other's maiden name. This is the only online index where one may search by mother's maiden name.  The online indexes include the full (given, middle and sur) names. This is a free online index for births 1837-1916 and for deaths 1837 to 1957 (death records have thus far been digitized only through 1957 not 1965). These are for England and Wales only. The embargo dates for the UK are 100-years from date of birth and 50 years from date of death.  Marriage records are not yet included.  You are required to register with name and email address, no credit card information is requested.
PLEASE NOTE:
Q5. How have you defined "historic" records?
We have used the same demarcation as used by the National Records of Scotland and GRO Northern Ireland i.e.

Births over 100 years
Deaths over 50 years



Q4. If I don’t have the index reference number what will happen?
If you do not have the GRO index reference, for historic birth and death records why not try using the GRO online historic indexes?

If you are unable to trace or do not have the index reference you may still apply online for any event which took place on or after 1st July 1837 to 6 months from the current date (for marriages this period is extended to 18 months) provided you have sufficient information to identify the entry.


Again my apologies. It is heartwarming to see there are no embargo periods in the UK compared to other locations, including within the United States.

To register go to: 

Then login at the same url.

For more information on the online historic birth and death indexes see:
One of the links is a chart for guide to searching the online historic indexes.




The Council of State Archivists (CoSA) sponsors the annual "Electronic Records Day" which this year will be celebrated on October 10.  The purpose of Electronic Records Day is help people become aware of how electronic records are becoming more important in the role of state government, general public, related professional organizations and others.

There will be webinar October 10, 2017 3:00PM ET  on "what about the records", including evaluating information systems and how to deal with existing systems that already hold record content.  To register for the free webinar go to: http://tinyurl.com/ydyhgtjg
