One can buy a certificate, either online thru the GRO:
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/
The cost is 7 GBP, incl post. (One can pay by credit card, and the GRO bills Visa or whomever, and Visa convert it to local currency at a mildly unfavourable rate to you, then stick it on your bill.)
One can also buy the cert thru the local Register Office.
Manchester take orders over the phone, plus credit card details. They charge 7GBP, plus 1 GBP handling fee, plus postage. (The UK is 5-8 hours ahead, depending where in the US you are. NY=5 LA=8)
Tel: 0161-234-5535 (I forget how to call a UK number)

I am not understanding this ... sorry! Is there a problem - have broken a rule? I thought it was working swimmingly!

like Deborah says, you are doing great and I have added to one of your threads, the only thing is that by having three threads the information is spread all over the place and people can't see what has already been found. Nothing more!! and of course you will have three threads to keep track of and try to assimilate the information

There is also someone else on the boards doing research on Ithiel - seems to be a popular one!

ok - didn't follow "thread" stuff just cause of not using site enough. Will try to be better at it. I see what you mean on the main page ... I see more discussions. Didn't know I did that! We are getting birth records in the mail - thanks
