Index to Church of England Parish Registers deposited in Southampton
Archives
Before registration of births, marriages and deaths was introduced in 1837, parish
registers are the primary source for family historians. Even after 1837, using parish
registers of baptisms, marriages and burials can be a useful alternative to the civil records.
Southampton Archives holds Church of England parish records for Southampton, including original
registers of baptisms, marriages and burials.
