Historical searches

What kinds of searches can you do?

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, as manual searches are time-consuming.

We offer a standard service:

• cost £12.50
• can be posted 2^nd class or collected from Royal Oak House after five working days

Address

 Royal Oak House, Market place, Derby DE1 3AR

Opening times

• Monday to Thursday, 9am to 4.30pm
• Friday 9am to 4pm 

What information do I need to provide?

The following information would be useful:

• the year in which a particular event was registered
• the place where the event was registered
• the name of the individual or individuals involved.

For further advice on records of Derby city or genealogy, please contact us or see the government website for researching family history.

You can apply and pay for a copy of a birth, marriage or death certificate online.
