This is the webpage that I go to on genuki whenever I want to know which town or village is covered by which registration district: http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/places/ If you click on the link which says Download the Place-Name Index, you'll get a 505 page pdf document with pretty much every inhabited place in England and Wales covered, and the registration districts they were in between 1837 and 1974. It is very useful, and I've saved a copy of the file on my computer as it opens a bit faster that way. :-) Chris P.S. It says that Weybridge was in Chertsey RD up to 1934, and in Surrey North Western thereafter.

Thanks everyone, and Clive like you I do get distracted by history lol JA

I usually put something like weybridge + poor law union into Google which tells me not just about Weybridge but also its surroundings and possibly history. Hope you are not like me - good bit of history and I'm lost for hours! Slows down ancestor research no end. Clive

I just google'Registration district of Weybridge' or whereever , and up it comes. Joan

If you go into genuki here, http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/Britain.html then you can break it down to the area you want and registrtion district Elaine

Is there an easy way to find which districts places are in - I have gotten lost on a number of sites and had no luck finding Weybridge for instance Thanks for the help JA
