some of these trees, as some data is formulated differently, for example
“June 1933” might really mean “Q2 1933”, ie. the quarter Apr-May-June, not
the actual month of June; “Newham, Essex” might really mean “Newham, Essex
Registration District”, not the actual place called Newham – trees to which

THE REGISTRATION
DISTRICTS, REGISTER OFFICES AND QUARTERS A ALSO THE UKBMD SITE FOR AN
EXPLANATION The
indexes to the national registers, which started in 1837, when the
national registration system began, and which are freely available to the
public, also online, show the REGISTRATION DISTRICT in which the event
happened, NOT THE ACTUAL PLACE – registration districts can often cover wide
areas - even places in more than one county – and often have a name which has
little bearing to the places it contains. They also often change. The
birth/marriage/death certificate, which must be paid for, shows the actual
place in which the event happened – for example, the marriage register might
show: SMITH,
JOHN STROOD [REGISTRATION
DISTRICT] whereas
the actual certificate will say he got married in Northfleet, Kent. So he
didn’t get married in Strood, Kent, but in Strood, Kent Registration
District, (or Northfleet, Kent if the actual place is known) – there’s a
big difference! Northfleet,
Kent is a good example of the registration district name being misleading –
Northfleet, although a medium sized town in its own right, over the years has
been in the North Aylesford, Strood, Strood & Hoo, and Dartford
registration districts, although it is some distance away from all of those
towns
The
REGISTER OFFICE is the main office in the registration district, and is the
place where non-church, or civil, weddings, take place. QUARTERS:
until 1984, there were four registers per year, one for every quarter (Q1
Jan-Feb-Mar, Q2 Apr-May-June, Q3 Jul-Aug-Sep, Q4 Oct-Nov-Dec). The register
will show, for example, a marriage in Apr-May-June – this means that the
marriage took place in the SECOND QUARTER, NOT NECESSARILY IN JUNE –
again, a big difference. Marriages are
listed in the quarter that they actually took place – births and deaths can
however be REPORTED AFTER THEY TOOK PLACE, so if for example a birth or death
is shown in the register for one quarter, it may actually have taken place in
the previous quarter, and if it happens in December of one year, in may
actually show up in the register for the first quarter of the following year. Since
1984, the actual month of registration has been quoted, not the quarter. BAPTISM
and BIRTH DATES Before
1837, in most cases only the date of BAPTISM was recorded, NOT THE DATE OF
BIRTH. Although the baptism normally took place shortly after the birth, the
latter can sometimes have taken place some time before – there are often
examples of two or more children being baptized on the same day, without
their being necessarily twins – perhaps the parents got a bulk discount for
having them all done together. Also, as with the national register of births,
children baptised in, say, January might have been born in December of the
previous year. So, if a child is BAPTIZED IN YEAR X, although it was PROBABLY
BORN IN THE SAME YEAR, IT IS NOT DEFINITE – again, a big difference, which
some researchers ignore. So any cases where a child is shown as born in a
particular year, especially before 1837, may mean that is was really BAPTIZED
in that year, and that the ACTUAL YEAR OF BIRTH IS UNKNOWN. |

Care
must therefore be taken when consulting
certain people’s data, as it is often formulated differently, for
example “June 1933” might really mean “Q2 1933”, ie. the quarter Apr-May-June,
not the actual month of June; “Newham, Essex” might really mean “Newham,
Essex Registration District”, not the actual place called Newham – trees to
which there is NO link here may contain misleading information or serious
