Series notes:
Since the Births Deaths and Marriages Act of 1838, each District Registrar was responsible for the keeping of a register of births, deaths and marriages. Details of entries in the register were forwarded regularly to the Registrar-General who was responsible for keeping a central register. Hence details in these district registers are duplicated in the central registers (ref. RGD35) and these records can be viewed online.

These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
System of Arrangement:
Chronologically by registration number, though some can be chronological by date of death. Hence it is worth a check of the neighbouring volume for deaths close to the beginning or end of a volume.
