Registration Districts In Scotland

Registration districts in Scotland came into being with the introduction of civil registration in 1855; away from the cities their boundaries usually coincided with civil parishes. They still exist today in their own right and in many places do not coincide with the current council areas; commonly both geographically-large and densely-populated Council Areas will have several registration districts, each with a registrar within easy reach of most residents. 

The Local Electoral Administration and Registration Services (Scotland) Act 2006 now allows births and deaths to be registered with any registrar in Scotland, rather than solely in the registration district where the event occurred or in the registration district of usual residence.

As this blog develops I intend to list, by registration district, all births, deaths and marriages registered with the Coulter surname. The following listing will be updated as my work progresses.
