The search will return a list of pages that may contain the entry you are looking for. Each page shown will be the one which would contain any entries that exist relating to persons of that surname. However it is not necessarily the case that the name you are looking for will appear on each returned page. If an event was not registered for the surname during the period you are searching, then it will not appear on the page.

Further information on searching overseas records

These records can be searched by event, event category, year range and full surname. Simply follow these three easy steps:

Step 1
Select the event (Birth, Marriage or Death), event category (e.g. Army Births) or all categories for that event, and the year range you want to search; also type in the full surname.

Pressing "search" will display a list of images that contain your results.

Step 2
Clicking on the "view" button will open up a new window with the image(s) requested.

Please ensure that you have downloaded the DjVu viewer before viewing an image.

It is important to note that when you view an image your account will be reduced by one unit.

Step 3
You can then use the viewing tools to study the image.

We recommend that you print or save the image to keep track of your research.
