Welcome

Hello and thank you for visiting ManxBMD.com. This site contains the indexes to births, marriages and deaths which have been registered on the Isle of Man up to 1979.

The database has just been updated with Ramsey births to 1979 (December 2011) and Castletown deaths to 1964 (January 2012) and Castletown Dissenter Marriages to 1979 (January 2012) and the rest will be uploaded as soon as possible.

Please note: this site is not affiliated with the Isle of Man Civil Registry. If you want to order a certificate, you will need to contact the Registry directly - The Douglas Civil Registry Office, Deemsters Walk, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 3AR Telephone: 01624 687039.

Volunteers Needed - Can You Help Transcribe?

The project has a small group of volunteers who are transcribing the images so they can be added to a database. There are thousands of records to go through, each which needs to be transcribed twice and cross checked. If you can spare a couple of hours a week to help, please do use the contact form. If you can give an idea of how much time per week you are able to give, it will help to allocate the work.

What will the index tell me?

The index entry will give you the year, surname, given names and the area where registered. For deaths, the age at death is also included. There will also be a reference number to the volume and entry where the certificate can be found.

If you think you've found a relative and want more information....

If you want further information on the event, you will need to order the certificate from the Isle of Man Civil Registry. If you supply the reference number it costs £7.00, if you don't then it's £9.50 per certificate. Send your cheque or PO (made payable to the Isle of Man Government) along with the details from the index to:

The Douglas Civil Registry Office, Deemsters Walk, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 3AR

If you don't want to apply for a certificate just yet, especially if you're not sure the person is your relative, then you can try the census. The Isle of Man Censuses can be found on Ancestry.com
