Go to gro.gov.uk Fill in the online form making sure you tick the box that asks if you have the reference. Only ever pay £7 for an online order. Anne

Hope that helped you!? Take care - there are some internet companies offering to get certificates and charging big prices. They only get the certificates in the SAME way we all get them - from the GRO. Anne

Not many of the London register offices will supply certificates for family history purposes, so it is best to use the GRO as Ann suggests. The address is:- www.gro.gov.uk/certificates Remember to say 'yes' when asked if the full GRO reference is known. (They will charge you more if you say 'no'). Kath. x
