Certificate Content
The content of standard certificates vary depending on how the information was recorded. In some instances, many of the marriage registers, particularly from 1856 - 1890's, do not show all particulars. Some of the entries were updated in the past based on information supplied by the church societies. There are still many that have missing information and it is advisable to contact the church in question who may have the information on their chuch record.
In general, more recent standard birth, death and marriage certificates include the following information.
Birth Certificates
Full name, sex, date and place of birth
Mother's details including full name and maiden name, age, occupation, place of birth
