Civil Registration Offices
The General Register Office holds a central copy of all birth, marriage, and death registrations in England. These certificates can be ordered from their website (a login is required but it is free to register and search).

Sometimes research might be required to determine where a town or parish was in a former registration district, or even its current district. For a list of the historic and current registration districts and their parishes, see Registration Districts in Pembrokeshire.

Sometimes additional help is available from local registrars. For example, proof of death and close family relationship can make more recent records available. Visit or correspond with: Pembrokeshire Register Office Pembrokeshire Archives Prendergast Haverfordwest Pembrokeshire SA61 2PE UK Telephone: 01437 775176 Email: registrar@pembrokeshire.gov.uk
