From the third quarter 1837 all births, deaths and marriages in England and Wales were registered centrally by the Registrar General. These have been indexed by the General Register Office (GRO), now part of the National Archives.

Civil Registration entries for STERRY and STERREY Births 1837-1992, Marriages 1837-1992 and Deaths 1837-1992 have been extracted and can now be directly downloaded.

With much thanks to Kathy Sterry, Heather Robb and David Sterry for extracting and typing.
