If you go to the library can you view details from BDM for free? Do you also have to go the the area where the person was born? (Sorry new to all this) Karen |

Thank you Ruth. I am upto my Great Great Grandfather but I think I need to see his Birth Cert to get his parents names I could order one but I have a lot on other names in the family I would like to find at the same time and thought if you could look for free it might be worth a trip over to lancashire. |

KAREN, If you are hunting in Lancs, try the following URL www lancashirebmd org uk . It might give you the whereabouts of the church record of a marriage from which you can get parent's names without paying 7 quid/time. Pauline |

Karen You can't look at the actual certificates at all. You have to buy them. The info that is free on microfiche are the index numbers (same as on 1837 online and FreeBMD) to enable you to get the cert. This are available at most Main Libraries etc in your area. If you visit the area concerned you can look at the parish registers, in the County Record Office or Main Library, to see baptism (not the same as birth), marriage and burial (not the same as death)records. I believe you can ask your local LDS centre for them to order them for you, so you can view them there. Baptism records very rarely give the mother's maiden name and burial records don't give the cause of death. Margaret |

Sorry to butt in but I could not pass without giving a bit advice You can go to any main library (including some smaller ones) in England and Wales and look up for free any birth death or marriage for free (its called St. Catherines Indexes) since records began All main Libraries have all for England and Wales so you can go to your Central Library in your nearest City or Town |
