What do I do if I am from another part of the UK?
In the channel islands, each of the islands has it's own registration system, so you would need probably to use a search engine to find the contact details and the dates of inception of the various civil registration schemes, because they do vary from island to island. In Scotland, civil registration of births, deaths and marriages started in 1855 and you can search the indices and have a look at digital copies of the certificates online at it's website. For Ireland, none of the indices are available online and so you would need to approach the general register office in Belfast for Northern Ireland after 1922 and for the whole of Ireland before that date and the Republic after the first of January, 1922, in the general register office in Dublin. You can go to each of these places and conduct searches yourself. For Wales, that's included with the registrar general's records for England. And so the repository there is a family records center in London., but the original records are kept in Southport and that's where the certificates are issued from.
