Registration of Births &c. A bill for registering Births Deaths and Marriages in England

This bill was issued in 1836. It was an attempt by the British Government to keep an accurate record of the number of persons being born, dying and marrying. The central records were to be kept in an office in London, but all districts were required to appoint an officer to maintain local records. Deaths were to be registered within 3 days and births within 8.
