South Africa Natal vital records 1868-1976 Part F M3VC-D2L What kind of record is this?

Department of Home Affairs: Natal. Civil Registration Records 1952–1966, Marriage Records 1952–1966

If you check reference image - 3 it should say marriage index and give the date for the section you are in.

As far as I can see, the instructions do not show anything like this and don't give any indication as to whether it should be indexed or not.

hopefully a moderator will be able to give you a better answer.

I'll look for records that say if it is a birth, marriage or death records instead of just names! Thanks

I have worked extensively on the South Africa, Natal--Vital Records, 1868-1976, Parts A-E.

The newer records in Part F, unfortunately do not have any examples, and as you've seen, many don't have headings to show what they are recording.

I finally found a batch with some headings.

You have Surname, Christian Name(s), and Year. There is nothing there to show what kind of record (birth/marriage/death/other) it is.
