Using a reference from the Family Records Centre

You have already have a reference from the Family Records Centre , quoting one of the following registration districts:

  • City of Westminster
  • Kensington
  • Paddington
  • St George
  • Hanover Square
  • St James
  • St Martin
  • St Marylebone
  • Westminster

Westminster Register Office regrets that we are unable to supply certificates of birth, death or marriage when the application quotes only the Family Records Centre reference, unless this is for 1978 or later. This is due to the different method of preparation between the Family Records Index and of the local register office index. Unless you are able to quote the exact date and street address of event/s sought we can not assist.

If you have a Family Records Centre reference we suggest that application be made to:- The Registrar General, O.N.S., Smedley Hydro, Trafalgar Road, Birkdale, Southport, PR8 2HH.

If you want the latest information on the costs of certificates obtained from the General Register Office for England and Wales telephone 0870 243 7788.
