Why can I find civil registration records for my Norfolk ancestors who lived west of Kings Lynn in Norfolk?
Because the civil registration district for that area is Wisbech in Cambridgeshire. Don’t forget, when looking for civil registration records (birth, marriage, & death) or for parish records (baptism, banns, marriage, & burial) that Norfolk is bordered by three other counties. These are Suffolk to the south, Cambridgeshire to the west, and a small sliver of Lincolnshire to the northwest. If your Norfolk ancestors lived near the county borders, be sure to search the neighboring areas across the county line. Thanks to Rod Neep for this tip!
