The General Register Office for England and Wales (GRO) was founded in 1836 by the Births and Deaths Registration Act 1836, and civil registration commenced on 1st July 1837. Prior to this there was no national system of civil registration. In England and Wales Baptisms, marriages and burials were recorded in parish registers maintained by Church of England (Anglican) clergy. However, with the great increase in nonconformity and the gradual relaxation of the laws against Catholics and other dissenters from the late 17th century, more and more baptisms, marriages and burials were going unrecorded in the registers of the Anglican Church. The Marriage Act of 1753 attempted to prevent 'clandestine' marriages by imposing a standard form of entry for marriages, which had to be signed by both parties to the marriage and by witnesses. Sir George Rose's Parochial Registers Act of 1812 laid down that all events had to be entered on standard entries in bound volumes. Although civil registration was introduced in 1837, it was not until 1874 that the registration of a birth became compulsory.
