General Register Office
Registration of births, marriage and deaths in England started in 1837. Copies of certificates can be obtained from the GRO. It was not compulsory to register a birth, marriage or death with the British authorities whilst you were abroad, but if the event was registered with the authorities then a certificate can be obtained from here.
