The Registration Districts were created in Ireland
All vital events in Ireland are registered in the Registration District where it took place. A point of note, marriages, while an ancestor’s town of origin may be in one Registrar’s District, the local Catholic parish church, even though it might a short distance from his or her’s residence, might well be in a different Registrar’s District. When searching for marriages, keep this in mind.
