Certificate Applications - Limited Information

Return to Main Menu Page

The more information you can supply in respect of a request for a Birth, Marriage or Death Certificate, the more likely it is that Register Office staff will be able to access the relevant record to provide you with the certificate you require, since not all indices are held on computer.

We will be happy to do a limited search, commonly know as a five year search, where you are able to offer the Register Office staff an indication of the date on which the event took place. However, we are extremely sorry that we cannot provide searches of indices covering large periods of time.

At the very least we would be pleased to have an approximate date for the event, or even the year and quarter in which the event took place.

All records are filed in quarters throughout any given year i.e.

January, February, March = March Quarter

April, May, June = June Quarter

July., August, September = September Quarter

October, November, December = December Quarter

This information may be obtained by undertaking a search of the St. Catherine's Index/General Register Office Index held on micro fiche at the Grimsby Central Library.

General Searches

You may if you wish, undertake a General Search of the indices held at the Grimsby Register Office. The fee however, for this service, is £18.00.

Please telephone the Superintendent Registrar, Mrs B. Hinson for more information.

Telephone: 01472 324860.

E-mail enquiries are always welcome at the following email address however research services are not available at this moment in time.
