registration district- area covered
« on: Friday 17 July 09 10:07 BST (UK) »
Good morning! I'm researching the birth of Emmie Louise Money,b. 1883,  and have ordered the birth cert. but too impatient to wait for it to arrive!! My query concerns the fact that although her parents and siblings were all born in the same area of Sussex, for some reason she was born in N. Oxfordshire, moving back to Sussex almost immediately. (Perhaps her mother was staying with relatives at the time, or her father had a temporary change of employment).

 I have seen two references to her birth, one states registration district as Chipping Norton, the other Shipton-under- Wychmoor.(Is there such a place... I thought it was Shipton under Wychwood?)

How large was the Chipping Norton registration district in 1883 and how can I find out what villages/towns were included? Any tips welcome! Thanks Shumagh

Hello Shumagh

Following on from PaulineJ's posting, the following website gives an "Indexes of Places" intended to be used in conjunction with the list of Registration Districts in England and Wales 1837-1974 :

For each place listed, the Index shows the county and registration district in which it was situated between 1st July 1837 and 31st March 1974.
