Historical birth searches
The Derby Register Officer holds all the births, marriage and death records for the Derby Registration District from 1 July 1837 to the present day. We can also access some of the Shardlow district records as well as the sub-districts of Spondon, Melbourne and Repton.
We can conduct a five-year search within your certificate application fee. Unfortunately, we are unable to conduct an open-ended general search of our indexes. Alternatively. you may wish to search the Registrar General’s indexes online on one of the many commercial family history sites.
We offer a standard service for either 2nd class post or collection from The Registry Office, Riverside Chambers, Full Street, Derby, DE1 3AF after five working days.
Please note, there are no facilities for copy certificates to be ordered in person at The Registry Office.
