West Derby – where is it in Derbyshire?
West Derby is in Merseyside, actually on the outskirts of Liverpool. It is also a Registration District for Births, Marriages and Deaths. So if you have an address in West Derby or have the reference for a birth, marriage or death that includes West Derby you are need to look in Lancashire and not in Derbyshire. This is a very common misunderstanding. Having said that, if you have an address in West Derbys it could indicate that the place is within West Derbyshire i.e. Matlock, Ashbourne, etc. You may need to just check the address again to make sure.
