Hi everybody,

Just new to this forum and it was Urban Districts that sucked me in.

I haven't read all of the posts but I thought I would add my tuppenceworth. I have different Belfast Urban districts for the same street which led me to think that the urban distrcit was the place of registration - not birth / death. If however streets can have more than one urban then tht's the explanation. I have several districts - given a BUxx on the GRO index where xx is anything from 1 to 16, plus just B, for Belfast as I've seem Ban - for I presume Banbridge, but it could be Bangor, although I would assume Bangor would be Dow - for Down. Anyway, I have a variety of districts recorded. So my final question to all out there is about the district where the event is registered. If you event (birth/death) is in Belfast and you register in Castlereagh, is the registration district Castlereagh or is it the district of where the event too place?

Can you even register an event from another district or will the District Registrar chase you to another office once they here an address?

Welcome to Rootschat HMC!
Generally,where the event occurred is 'generally'where it is recorded,that,s seemingly the rule,such as occur's at sea,abroad etc:
What niggle's at me is, this may not apply in all cases!Also why change numbers/location's of district's +rego; office's?
Too much is enough,red tape rule's.Not okay!
           Happy hunting,

Boundaries of administrative districts have had to be changed over the years to reflect the changing numbers of persons and/or dwellings.  Whole registration districts have come and gone over the 16 decades of civil registration.

If we fail to make such changes, we end up with nonsenses comparable with the famous "rotten boroughs" of the 18th century.

However,my gripe/brick wall/search centres on 1911,so as you can see a double bind exist's.
