  Births, Marriages and Deaths on the Internet. "In 1837 registration of births, marriages and deaths in England and Wales began, however this did not become compulsory until 1875 with the Births and Deaths Registration Act. In Scotland such registration became compulsory for all in 1855 and for Ireland it was 1864 for births & deaths and 1845 for marriages. Since 2000 a growing number of Family History Societies have been working with their local Register Offices to place indexes to births, marriages and deaths on-line. These are commonly known as Local BMD indexes. Cheshire was the first county to do this, closely followed by Yorkshire then Lancashire. At the time of writing, there are 11 areas of the country that have some indexes on-line in various stages of completion using the software we initially developed for Cheshire, now known as the Local BMD project software."
