Births, Deaths and Marriages

It will be a matter of individual choice for anyone coming into the building whether or not they wish to wear a face mask - for those who choose to do so, it is fully supported.

Please note that our Registrars are not legally qualified and therefore will not be able to give you advice, offer any opinions on what course of action to take, or comment on the contents of any documents presented to them.

Statistics - births and deaths
