    Cool Registration District for Sephton (Sefton), Lancashire

    My wife's 3rd Great Grandmother Ann HARRISON was living in Sefton in 1841. She was then around 70 years of age. She presumably died in Sefton before 1851. Can someone tell me what district her death would have been registered in?

    According to GENUKI see

    It would be Sefton South.

    The registration district covering Sefton from 1837 to 1934 was West Derby.

    That Genuki page is slightly mis-leading because it says 'is' and refers to the present day.
    This is the page I always refer to, as it covers the districts from 1837 - 1974, and still gives the addresses of the current offices. There is also a link from the bottom of the page of the old districts to the current offices, where it says 'registers now held...'.

    Default Thanks West Derby it is

    Thanks for the GENUKI link and your replies. It was as I suspected (West Derby that is) but I can't believe how many Harrison males married women with the first name of Ann. It just narrows down the search to 20 or more Ann Harrisons (could be a costly exercise at $7 (pounds) a pop for death certificates).
