Historical data may differ from older publications which is mainly due to amendments made by local authorities after the previous publication.
  2. The Royal Assent to the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act in July 2013 allowed same sex marriages to be performed from summer 2014. Different sex civil partnerships were allowed from December 2019.
