If anyone in Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand or anywhere else needs certificates, I am prepared to order them from here in UK, and mail them on to you. I only want the actual cost, I dont intend making a profit. I recently did this for a lady in NZ, and it all went smoothly. If I can help, please email me.

What a generous offer, thank you, Carol. I don't have any requests, but wanted to acknowledge your message.

Thanks for that Lisa. For the USA it works out at 13 US dollars which is £7 the amount I pay. Is that any cheaper than the way you get them. I am hoping to save people hard earned cash.

What a kind and generous offer! :-) I am new to the site, and as I live in Australia, had wondered how it might be possible to get certificates. If I find I need to order them, then I just might take you up on that wonderful offer. Thank you. Anne

Looks like this could be useful to people I think I shall add this service to my website.

Hi Carol ,I agree with previous posts,very generous offer!! As I am in canada I too wondered how I was going to achieve this,If and WHEN I find my family:) offer very much appreciated,Adding this thread to my fav's now !! Thanks Ronalda

Hi Carol. I've never ordered a certificate from the UK(!) as most of my research has been in Canada. I did order church records once which cost about 30 (or was it 45) pounds (ordered birth, marriage and death) and viewed a couple of wills (3 pounds each). The HUGE problem is not the expense, but the method of payment. The church wanted the money sent in pounds; the banks in our area charge a "transfer" fee, which actually would have been more than the cost of the church records. (The church finally settled for a personal cheque.) You replied to one of my recent messages. You wouldn't happen to have the 1851 census for Essex, would you? Sorry I don't have information about the cost of ordering certificates from the U.S.

Lisa, sorry I dont have 1851 Essex. With regard to payment, I accept cash in any currency within reason. I can change most major currencies at the post office commission free. I can also take paypal.

Hi Carol, I just wanted to thank you for such a generous offer. I am in Canada and have ordered a few certificates and had to pay the extra 1.50 over what I would have to pay if I was in UK. This is really very nice of you and I may take you up on the offer next time I need a certificate. Barbara

It works out at 16 Canada dollars per certificate. How does that compare with what you were charged?

Hi Carol, The first cert I ordered I didn't have all the info and they charged 11.50 which worked out to $25.92. I haven't got my credit card bill yet for the other two, so will let you know later on.

Hi Carol, I've been ordering my certificates by telephone. I find if I phone from here, Vancouver, area at just past midnight, (8p.m in England,) they've just opened the office and I get through in minimal time. I usually get them within 10 days, at a total cost of 8.50 uk, and that includes postage. How much would they cost in the UK, plus postage. That is indeed a very kind offer Carol. Thankyou. Di.

I can also help out anyone requiring UK Certificates. A service I offer through my website.

Hi Patricia, What is your web site? just curious.

Carol and Tricia! How fabulous of you both! What great Christmas spirit you both have. I am in Oz and find it can be really expensive to get certificates through researchers! There is one gent I use who accepts A$ into his account but he is a little more exxie for the priviledge! The other I use debits my cards. That cost depends on the exchange rate rate!! I, too was going to ask where the websites are!! ;) I will more that likely have to take you both up on your offer at some time or another! Warm Chrsitmas regards to all Sonja in Oz Stinking hot (29C) at 9 a.m. and the promise of hotter times to come! No we don't have a pool and it is TOOOOO HOT to go to the beach!! :(

Di, Certificates cost me £7 and postage to Oz is 68p, so not much difference.

Di, that would be 20 of your dollars

At todays exchange rate for us here in Australia, it would work out at about $18.02 including postage. At present I pay A$28.00!! That is a heck of a difference!! Sonja in Oz which is now quite cool after a night of storms! Hmmm wont last long though! :(

carol that is a great offer, as they are 36dollars here in australia for me and that can get expensive when you want a few chris

The only payment I require is the actual cost, I dont intend making a profit I use this for currency conversion http://www(.)xe(.)com/ucc/
