Statistics on the number of persons charged with a crime are not centrally collected.Data collected on the Home Office Court Proceedings database for offences under the Forgery Act 1861 are in paper format prior to 2003. As these records need to be manually analysed, sample years have be selected and are shown in the table. The number of convictions under S34 of the Forgery Act 1861 ‘Acknowledge bail in false name' is contained in the table for years 1992, 1997, 2002–04. There were no convictions under S36 of the Act ‘Destroying, injuring, forging or falsifying registers of births, baptisms, marriages, deaths or burials or certified copies'.Paper records prior to 1992 are no longer available.
