The post was created in 1836 , as head of the General Register Office , and registration began in 1837 . The first holder of the post was Thomas Henry Lister . The Registrar General was soon given other responsibilities, such as the conduct of every Census In England And Wales since 1841 , and eventually came to be head of a primarily statistical organisation. In 1972 , with the creation of the Office Of Population Censuses And Surveys , the General Register Office became just one division of the new office, headed by a Deputy Registrar General. With the creation of the Office For National Statistics , the post of Registrar General was merged with that of Head of the Government Statistical Service, who is now also the National Statistician .
