My gt gt grandmother was born 1845. I have searched for the certificate, and wherever I look I have the same problem. Jane Ann Sutherland: Sub reg district ???, vol. xxiv, page 201. According to later census records she put birthplace as Wapping. Would anyone know where I could find the sub reg district? How many were there for Wapping area at this time? I'm being a pain tonight I know, but you're always so good at these things!! Sarah
