What are births, deaths, marriages?

The births, deaths and marriages register is a vast database that contains details of every birth, death and marriage that has happened in England and Wales between 1837 and 2004.

How is it useful for me?

This database is particularly valuable in helping find newly married surnames for birth mothers and helping narrow down searches for fathers when middle initials are not known.
