Hi, have just traced my GG Grandfather, Joseph Eyre.On 1901 census he gives his brthplace as CLAY CROSS. I have found what might be his birth registration on 1837 online, but registration district is BELPER. Would this 'fit' ? Would someone born in Clay Cross be registered in Belper?? Steph

Hi Steph, Belper seems right as the registration district for a birth in Clay Cross.Hope this helps. Peter Elliott

If you check with Genuki, Clay Cross comes under Chesterfield, not Belper. Sorry!

Researching:
Locke, Rochester, Portsea, Derby

When register offices closed, the register were moved to other offices, and Chesterfield is in Derbyshire, I think
