TNA also holds the [[Colonial Office Registers of Births and Dates of Emigrants at Sea]]
The following records of births, deaths and marriages of passengers at sea are available online through [http://www.bmdregisters.co.uk /BMDRegisters.co.uk]
* BT 158 - Registers of Births, Deaths and Marriages of Passengers at Sea 1854-1890
* BT 159 - Registers of Deaths at Sea of British Nationals 1875-1888. The name of this series is misleading as it includes other nationalities
* BT 160 - Registers of Births at Sea of British Nationals 1875-1891
The records give detailed information compiled from ships' logs by the Registrar General of Shipping and Seamen and its predecessor. The registers cover 1854 to 1908 and include over 150,000 individuals. It is free to search on the website but there is a charge for downloading images of original records.
The records continue to be also available on microfilm at The National Archives
