The Domesday Book does not include births. Before civil registration in England came into force in 1837, people registered the births of their children with the Parish Priest, but this did not come into force until an order made by Thomas Cromwell in1538. If you are looking for births before that, you are in difficulty. Main sources would be family Bibles and other family documents. If your ancestors were agricultural labourers like mine, you don't stand much chance I'm afraid.

It doesn't contain births. It's a survey of land in England in 1086.

As others have said - you won't find births in Domesday.

Check out www.genesreunited.co.uk - you can search for birth/death/marriage details on there, but you have to pay for it!
