View Results

Once you’ve performed a search, the results will appear in a table format. Here’s how to understand and navigate your search results.

Result table overview

The table will show the following key information:

• First Name & Surname of the individual
• Record Type: Birth, Marriage, or Death.
• Registration Date: the quarter or year the event was registered. For records before 1984, the results show the quarter (Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep or Oct-Dec) and year. After 1984, they only show the year.
• Registration District & Reference: includes the District, Volume, and Page numbers. You can click on the District link for more detailed information.
• Mother’s Maiden Name, Spouse’s Surname, Age at Death/Date of Birth: these fields are only shown if relevant to the record type. (Earlier records may not contain these fields.) If no data is available for a specific record, these fields will display ‘No data.’ A dash (‘-’) will appear in fields that are not relevant to a particular event type.

Sorting and narrow down results

• You can sort the results by any column. Click on the column header to sort by ascending (▲) or descending (▼) order.
• Results per page: use the "Show" dropdown menu to adjust the number of results displayed per page (up to 100).
