The Register Office used to be at 7 Lyon Road,Harrow. tel Har 6135

But all the BMD's registers were transferred to the Civic Centre when it opened.So you should find what you want there?

I grew up in Harrow in the 50's and 60's. ;D
But couldn't affiord a house there when I married in 1973  >:(

Hello Flossy  I've not been on for quite a while long story of illness and death.
Any how I'm just looking over old posts and wondering how things went for you in your search.
