The only code of conduct here is to put the SURNAME of who you are looking for....

Susan, you could use freebmd.org - its free - to find one of the kids birth cert refs and buy it for £7 from GRO online - that would give her full maiden name.

Oh I see Sylvia has found a possible marriage using freebmd. If you are confident thats the couple, you can use the ref to buy the marriage cert.

If you want to buy a BMD cert,heres how and here
is the addy where you can buy it online... (copy n paste the following...)

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/


(tip)Never pay more than £7
(another tip) for a marriage,you only need
put one partners name when ordering.

If you are ordering online from the GRO,
make sure that when the form asks
"Is the full GRO reference known?"
that you tick the "yes" box.

ahh heather i have her daughter birth certificate and it does not tell me- I somehow think she fibbed on it- maybe it is an age thing- i think she older than she says - there is something odd anyway- as i say it is the other halfs family so if they want to be weird so be it

And Sylvia you dont have to be so superior- some ppl are new to this and i have never heard of freebmd
so maybe i am stupid one but as said i am novice so please accept apology
