By the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act 1836, the guardians were directed to provide a register office, and to appoint registrars of births and deaths. The Clerk to the guardians acted as superintendent registrar. These powers were transferred to county and county borough councils in 1929. The births, marriages, and deaths registers originally compiled by the Birkenhead Union are now held by the Superintendent Registrar, Birkenhead Town Hall, who may charge fees for their inspection
