There is an old saying which is sometimes used to describe life in general terms. 'Hatch, Match and Dispatch.' Those words equally describe some of the public records such as Records of Civil Registration (Births, Marriages and Deaths) that are available on-line.
Looking at the 'Hatch,' in this case it would be the public Register of Births. You can order up copies of birth certificates which give additional information beyond what is available in the on-line registers In addition there are also 'Church Baptismal Registers' which play and increasing importance prior to 1837. When the first official government registry began.
The 'Records of Civil Registration are a legal requirement in England and Wales, that commenced on the 1st of July 1837. These public records relate to the registers of birth, marriage and death of an individual. In Scotland records began in 1855 and in Ireland in 1864 Irish non-Catholic marriages were recorded from 1845.
Looking at the 'Match,' in this case it would be the public Register of Marriages. But there are also 'Church Marriage Registers' and in some cases there can also be records of marriage banns being read. which once again play an increasing importance prior to 1837.
Last of all, is the 'Despatch.' in this case it would be the public Register of Deaths. But there are also 'Church Burial Registers' which once again play an increasing importance prior to 1837.
For the Records of Civil Registration official certificates can also be obtained. Which includes divorce papers.
The Next form of public records are the “Census Returns.” Again most have been microfilmed and digitised. The census is a head count of everyone in the country on a given day. A census has been taken in England and Wales, and separately for Scotland, every ten years since 1801, with the exception of 1941.
The Census returns contain a rich source of additional information on relationships to the head of the family. Such as place of birth and an approximate age. They also contain street addresses and some basic information on individuals employment.
