INFORMATION RECORDED IN TASMANIAN REGISTRATIONS OF BIRTHS. DEATHS AND MARRIAGES
Compulsory registration in Tasmania was introduced in December 1838.
Prior to the 1838 Registration Act there was no registration of births,
deaths and marriages and these events for this period can only be traced
through church records, some of which have been transcribed by the
Registrar-General's Department. Notwithstanding that registration was
compulsory after 1838, there are many instances of either failure of
local returns to be submitted, or neglect by the responsible party to
make a registration. Unlike their interstate counterparts, Tasmanian
registrations do not give all the data that many people anticipate.
The following information is generally included:
BIRTHS
Prior to 1896 particulars recorded were:
Given name (if known at time of registration) and surname.
Date and place of birth.
Names of parents.
Maiden surname of mother.
Father's occupation.
In 1896 the date and place of the parents' marriage were added.
In 1902 the ages and birthplaces of the parents were added.
In 1909 previous issue (children) were added.
DEATHS
Prior to 1897 particulars recorded were:
Name of deceased.
Date and place of death.
Age at death.
Occupation.
Cause of death.
In 1897 the birthplace of deceased was added.
In 1914 age at marriage and number of issue were added.
MARRIAGES
Prior to 1896 particulars recorded were:
Names of parties being married.
Date and place of marriage.
Age at marriage (sometimes only whether "under" or "over" age, i.e. 21 years).
Occupation and status (e.g. bachelor and spinster).
Names of witnesses to the marriage.
Names of parents, and places of birth, of the parties being married were
not added until 1896.
