Bristol Register Office List of Missing Registers

Until the Second World War, Bristol Register Office was situated on what is now Castle Park. In November 1940 this area was destroyed by German bombers, and sadly many of the historical records of Births and Deaths were destroyed.

Copies of records held in these destroyed registers can be obtained from the General Register Office.
