NORTHERN IRELAND - Births, Marriages &amp; Deaths, 1922-1959 The arrangement of certificates for Northern Ireland for the above years is very simple. The volumes of certificates on microfilm are arranged first by year, then by quarter, then in alphabetical order by Superintendent Registrar District. Page numbers run consecutively through each volume. Unlike earlier years, volume numbers run consecutively through the thirty-seven year time period and do not at all relate to the districts or counties. SUPERINTENDENT REGISTRAR'S DISTRICTS BY COUNTY AND VOLUME NUMBER The following volume numbers apply to all quarters of the years beginning with 1878, and to the first quarter of the years 1864-1877. These arrangements are the same for the other quarters of 1864-1877, but with progressively larger volume numbers. (See county list under 'Guide to Arrangement of Certificate Volumes and Counties'.) Districts some times over-lapped county boundaries. In 1922 the southern part of Ireland separated from the six northern counties and became a separate country known as the Republic of Ireland, or Eire. The six remaining counties, Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry, and Tyrone, are known as Northern Ireland and are still a part of the British Commonwealth. Because of this division the records for births, marriages, and deaths are divided also.
