Certificate Tutorial Guides

Certificates form an important part of genealogy research, without them it is difficult to prove relationships and dates with accuracy and there comes a time when you will need to order certificates to enable your research to continue.

The following guides give information about certificates for events in England/Wales and also for events within Scotland.

England/Wales certificates cover the period from July 1st 1837 to the present day, in Scotland the first certificates were issued in 1855 and continue to the present day.

Birth Certificates are issued when a birth is registered,

Marriage Certificates are issued when a marriage takes place
