I Googled and got this

If the birth, death or marriage took place in the London Borough of Southwark after 1900 we can provide you with a copy of a certificate



Pre 1900 certificates
Are you researching your family history? Are you curious about your ancestry?

Did you know that Southwark Register Office hold the records for all births, deaths and marriages that occurred in Southwark's districts dated as far back as 1837?

Southwark Register Office is pleased to announce that we are now able to produce birth, death and marriage certificates from entries prior to 1900.

If you have the exact details (link to list of details we require) of the event, the registrar will locate the entry and produce the certificate for you. You will however need to be sure of the details you supply in order to receive the correct certificate

Not sure if they scan the original or not, but if you want a marriage cert then you must know the name of the church/chapel before thay can start a search.

Each venue has a register and unless you know the specific church they won't know which register book to consult.

Hello,

Can anyone please tell me if Southwark Registrars Office supplies certificates, and if they do, are they photocopies of the original entries?
