Can you please help me with the district for Tynemouth Northumberland. I am trying to order a marriage certificate but when I go into the local bmd for uk it doesn't have this area. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks Katrina

Do you know where in Northumberland? There are four districts within Northumberland, each with their own register office. The four districts are covered by the following offices Alnwick Berwick Hexham Morpeth Glen

No Glen I only have that my GGrandparents were married in Tynemouth Northumberland.

Within the ukbmd website there is a section for the NorthEast BMD It has links to the regions from the Scottish border down to Stockton and Darlington etc. South Tyneside can be found from the site remove brackets from the url http://www(.)southtyneside.info/communitysupport/register/

Tynemouth finished as a reg district in the 1930's - the records were sent to various other reg districts and some of those have now gone and the records have been rehoused again. Go into FreeBMD and enter birth, then Smith and a quarter, then choose Tynemouth as the district. When the entries come up, click on Tynemouth, and you will be redirected to a table telling you all the places which used to be in the reg district and where the records went. Repeat for the second district, incase it no longer exists now! Alternatively, Genuki has a whole section on reg districts. Or try Genuki Northumberland - If you know the place name, go to that place and then click on civil registration. Mine were in Blyth. That used to be Tynemouth, then Blyth, but is now Northumberland Central (Morpeth) . Other areas of the old Tyneside district, further south, are now in the Newcastle district. Jay

Put the names, marriage year on here and let someone look for the district and ref no. Margaret

Thanks Margaret The people that I am looking for are James Gifford 1852 married to Ann (Annie) Draper c1856 Marriage was on 10/12/1877 in Tynemouth Northumberland.

I looked in the FreeBMD and this is what came up ** Sub-districts : Blyth; Cramlington; Earsdon; Longbenton; North Shields; Tynemouth; Tynemouth First; Tynemouth Second; Wallsend; Whitley **transferred to TWR in 1974 I may be daft but what is TWR?

I looked up the 1881 census and they were living in North Shields
