Northern Territory Library Early Church Records Subject Guide This guide was developed for people who wish to view pre 1856 records for Baptisms, Marriages and Funerals. These records are available in the NSW Archives Resources Kit Reels 5001 to 5048. They are held in the Northern Territory Library. They are not the original church registers, they are copies. “Between 1826 and 1855 copies of Church of England records were required to be sent firstly to the Registrar of the Archdeacon's Court and later to the Registrar of the Bishops of Australia. As Deputy Registrar in the office of the Registrar of the Bishop of Australia during the years 1836 to 1856, Henry Kerrison James compiled (from sources available to him) chronological registers of baptisms, burials and marriages from 1787 to 1831. The original, official pre-1856 records, were numbered by the Registrar General in volumes from 1 to 120; the other early records which are supplementary to the original pre-1856 records and to the State registers from 1856 were numbered in volumes from 121 to 162. These volumes include a number of events after 1856 and even some after 1899. However, any event after 1856 has been indexed in the index for the year of the event.” The information above is quoted from the NSW Archives Office Web site.
