If you are new here then PLEASE read the notes below before proceeding.
Here you will find all the births listed in the Index of the Registrar General for ENGLAND and WALES for the years 1837-1962 and some which are not. That is the index available for public inspection at the Family Record Centre in London. They are listed in order of Quarter Year and then alphabetically by first name. The following is a brief introduction to the listings.
I have not included the FRC references to save space. These can be obtained from
The FreeBMD Website
. Ancestry has recently added scans of the Indexes (1837 to 1983) to their website.
| Name | Bthyr | Wedyr | Dthyr | Registration District | Notes | Parents | Qtryr |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The NAME column contains only Prenames or Christian Names. In all cases the Surname is given as BAYNES in the index. Male or Female indicates that no name appears in the index.
WEDYR and DTHYR are usually guesstimates, with circumstantial evidence. (ie there is a wed or dth for someone of that name in the said year.) An EEEE entry in the Dthyr column shows that the person is known/believed to have emigrated.
NOTES contains the source information. A lot of PARENTS have been derived from various census data, care should therefore be exercised, the real mother may have died and the father remarried. Local Registrars who have published their own indexes have not, as a rule, published parents names, and are only useful to show where births are missing from the National indexes. | |||||||

| REPEAT | |||||||
A record with REPEAT in the Notes column is suspected, by me, of being a second indexing of one birth. The national index does have two when the indexer was unsure of the spelling of the first names or the surname. | |||||||
| SECOND | |||||||
A record with SECOND in the Notes column is suspected, by me, of being an indexing of a second birth registration involving the same child. There is usually no evidence to support this except for a similar entry in the previous quarter. Local records were forwarded to the GRO once a quarter. There is therefore a possibility that a birth could have been forwarded to the GRO twice. | |||||||
