Charleston began keeping birth records in 1877 and death records in 1821, and Georgetown was authorized to establish a vital records registration system in 1883. The Church of England parishes created in 1706 recorded christenings, marriages, and burials, and these registers can serve as vital records for much of the colonial period (see South Carolina Church Records).
South Carolina had no law requiring marriage licenses or registration until 1911. Until 1949, divorce was illegal in South Carolina.
