Title: newbury registration district
Post by: kcstadium on Monday 11 August 08 14:39 BST (UK)
Tried all over the place can't find it!
NEWBURY c4 miles south of Radstock and c5 miles north west of Frome.
Can anybody tell me which registration district Newbury came under 1837-1974?

There is a map of registration districts at http://homepages.newnet.co.uk/dance/webpjd/intro/regmap.htm
which may help.

It looks like it was in the Superintendent Registrar's District of Frome, and the Registrar's Sub-District of Kilmersdon

Unfortunately the village of Newbury is not listed on that site  :)

My reply crossed with last post so will repeat:-
Excuse my ignorance but what if any is the difference between 'Superintendent Registrar's District' and Frome 'Registration District' as listed by Genuki?
Was already aware Newbury not on Genuki list but Kilmersdon is 1837-1974

A Superintendent Registrar is in charge of the Registration District i.e. Frome, a Deputy Registrar is in charge of a sub-district of the Registration District i.e. Kilmersdon.

Thanks for that but ! am still left with the initial problem!
Any ideas as to which district I would find Newbury?
Because of the close proximity to Frome is it possible it's been missed off?

I am not sure what you mean  ??? Missed of what?
The Village/Hamlet of Newbury appears to be in the sub-district of Kilmersdon in the  Frome Registration District.

Fine
I expected it to be listed under Frome (Genuki) but it's obviously within Kilmersdon
Thanks

Newbury is so small it would be included in Coleford.

Newbury and Highbury come under the Vilage of Coleford.

BMD registers are FROME

I have the Coleford Parish registers. First records are 1831 before that Kilmersdon is the best place to look.
