Good Luck !!!!!!!!!!! You will now get a confirmation e.mail telling you about your order online. KEEP it safe until after you receive the cert itself ! When does it say the cert will be despatched ? Elaine :-)

Thankyou so much I have managed to order it at last. You have all been so helpful Kind regards Nicki

Hi Nicola, Did you check the 'yes' for is the GRO ref known?

Nichola, Where it asks 'is the GRO reference known' have you made sure you have the 'yes' box ticked. If you leave it as 'no' it WILL ask for full date of birth. Kath. x

please help!

Hi I have gone onto order birth certificate but it is asking for a d.o.b for Harry or a reference checking? Im so confused Regards Nicki

Nichola, Just hide the bank statements when they come - lol. That's what I do. I really dare not add up what this hobby has cost me in the last couple of years - but what the hell!! I don't spend much on anything else. Kath. x

Jess, I thought the census gave Harry's father as Henry 'F' Adams and not Henry John Adams, or do you think the 'F' was just a mistranscription for 'J'. I think I'd be inclined to just order the birth certificate for a start. Kath. x p.s. Just looked at the image and it's definitely Henry J. Adams, so the marriage is likely to be the correct one.

Wow thankyou so much Don't think the other half will be to pleased when he sees his bank statement. Hes already got the hump with me being on the comp so much. Oh well what the hell! Thankyou all Kind regards Nicki

Thank you both very much you have been very helpful. Kind regards Nicki x

See my reply above, I've just added the details of how to order. Kath. x

Ordering certificates 'online' is both cheaper and quicker. If you order from the GRO at Southport, you get a photocopied certificate for £7.00 which normally arrives within 7 days of ordering. If you order from GRO (Southport) by telephone, these same certificates cost £8.50 You CAN get certificates from the Registry Offices in the district that the 'event' took place ... I believe these are cheaper still (not sure of cost) ...BUT.. it is a handwritten copy certificate and I have known of several occasions where the details have been copied wrongly due to the origional handwriting being hard to decipher. I had ONE cert like this ... and spent nearly £40 trying to find a birth for the bride ... then found out the Bride's surname on the marriage cert had been copied WRONGLY. Never again. Hope this info helps. The GRO Southport are online. Dancer :-)

Thanks Kath That looks like the Harry im after. So sorry but could you tell me what I do now. I have never done this before. Thankyou for being so helpful Regards Nicki

Nichola You can apply on line, which a credit card (£7) to www. GRO use the ref that kath has supplied above ...and you are up and flying!

Hi Jess Yes that definatly looks like the Harry im looking for. Just not sure now how to get his birth certificate. regards Nicki
