Fife (Scotland) Registration District Names and Numbers

The Registration (Scotland) Act of 1854 introduced a system of compulsory civil registration starting on 1 January 1855 which superseded the voluntary system of registration operated by the Church of Scotland.

For the purpose of the registration of births, deaths and marriages, over 900 parishes in Scotland were replaced in 1855 by 1,027 districts. Amalgamations and closures of Registrar's Offices over the years have reduced the number open to 360 in 1994.

Where NO date is listed in the Last Year column the District still exists and these are highlighted in black,
the Current Reg.No. column shows numbers in BOLD, these are the registration districts now,
and the other places in the same column with the same numbers are integrated into that area.
