The transcripted details are an indication of the date of an event, but the event may have been registered as much as six weeks after the date of the original event, and consequently the transcripts act only as a guide.

Full details are only available on the certificates.

The details transcripted show the name as spelt in the index to the registers, with the pre 1974 registration district, year of registration, quarter year of registration and where known, the actual date, place etc., of the event.

The event details are in date order, irrespective of the spelling of the surname.
