 I want to build my family tree
Westminster Register Office regrets that we are unable to supply certificates of birth, death or marriage when the application quotes only the Family Record 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.
Since the records at this office should correspond to the records held by the Registrar General it is extremely unlikely that the record you seek will be found here.

Like many other county family history societies we have transcribed and indexed the whole of the 1851 census, while recently the 1881 census of England, Wales and Scotland was produced on CDROM.
Given that these records are in the public domain, most family historians must ask themselves whether or not they wish to pay such exorbitant fees in order to look at the new census material, or if they will use alternative sources that are freely available.

The indexes can be found at the Family Records Centre.
There is no cross-reference to the birth surname (although of course on occasion it may be the same - where, for instance, adoption takes place within the same family).This means that it is necessary to know the adopted surname if a meaningful search is to be made of the indexes.
Unfortunately for family historians, this might mean that you will not be able to trace your genetic line, if you discover that a parent or grandparent was adopted.
