Staffordshire FreeREG is now putting online Birth, Marriage, Death Certificate Information for Walsall, Dudley, West Bromwich & Wolverhampton Registration Districts (these cover larger areas than just the towns with these names). If you have any certificates dated 1837-1935 please be kind and donate the information recorded on these so that we can release this locked up information so that everyone can benefit from it including yourself - this project will only work if lots of people donate their information as it is not likely that the government will release it and if it does you will have pay to see it - this way it will be free to everyone so please support us by donating your information. Send the information to GARETH his email address has been removed from this comment but you can find it by going to FreeREG at
http://www.freereg.org.uk/index.shtml clicking on Counties & Parishes then click on Staffordshire then click on W and look at comment under Walsall Civil Registration District.
Can you set out the info. for Birth & Death Certs. putting all that is written in columns 1-8
and typing it out as 1. .... 2. ....... etc. don't forget to mention which Registration District it is in - this is found directly at the top of every certificate - we don't need the Sub District or County.
For marriages put where the event took place it may not give a church name it may just say The Parish Church of Tipton in which case just put what it says. Then type out everything else like the example below:
Joseph Smith 25 Bach. Miner of Green St. Oldbury F. John Smith - Labourer (deceased).
Mary Jones 27 Widow - of Providence St. F. Thomas Jones - Miner
Wit. Sarah Ann Evans & John Hipkins
Staffordshire FreeREG will be covering the other districts within Staffordshire in the near future.
If you have ever been annoyed by not knowing which certificate to order or at the rising cost of buying certificates - then don't just sit back - the only way we will ever know what is contained in the certificates, is, if everyone is decent and contributes the information that they hold.
