The Common Room / Labelling Photographs
« on: Sunday 10 March 24 15:48 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone
could somebody please advise if there is a safe way to write names etc on the back of old black and white photographs.
I am currently moving my photos out of a film over photo album into acid free pockets, but am at a bit of a loss how to label them, as my Mum had written names etc on the writing space in the old album.
Thank you

I wonder what the incentive was to get them registered early on anyway?
people must have been suspicious of this 'new' system.

Thank you everybody for these replies.
I do feel like I have a greater understanding now of how a registration would have happened.
This particular birth was registered, as a first registration, within six months, but only just!!
Thank you for clearing up the fact that there was no fine at this time.

Thank you Carole, that's an interesting article, especially the bit that registrars were paid to register births. I didn't know that, so maybe my ancestor was chased until he finally got around to registering his child.

The Common Room / Late registration of birth
« on: Tuesday 22 August 23 16:25 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone
I'm a bit puzzled as to why a birth which took place in November 1851 wasn't registered until the following May 1852. I don't believe that fines were in place during that period, so just curious as to why the family decided to register 6 months later.
Also, just to try and put some context into registration, does anybody know how it took place? I know today we make appointments etc, but did an individual just walk into a registrars office, did the registrar come to them? and did people in small towns/villages have to go further afield to register?
Many thanks for any comments on this
