The LancashireBMD site has details of some the births, marriages and deaths recorded at Blackpool Register Office, and provides an easy mechanism to order certificates. Lancashire BMD uses the term Old Fylde in relation to civil marriages from 1837 - 30 Sep.1936. All the Old Fylde districts under Blackpool District records became the New Fylde District after that date. This description is only used within the context of civil registration as a means of distinguishing between conflicting code numbers used to compile the index as that is the term used internally within the Register Office.
