Life events are counted in the month and year they are registered by the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages. This may be different to when the event occurred. BDM identified an issue with the original registrations data published for 2022-2023. We have now addressed this. Marriage registrations decreased in 2020-21. This was a result of restrictions on weddings due to coronavirus (COVID-19). Higher numbers in 2016 and 2017 reflect work to clear a backlog. Registered relationships have increased since 2016 due to a change of legislation. BDM provides data on stillbirths to the Consultative Council on Obstetric and Paediatric Mortality and Morbidity (CCOPMM). CCOPMM advises the government on strategies to improve obstetric and paediatric care. Wider data sets are available for purchase. We can extract data with certain criteria, such as a date range.
