	I don't know about Irish certificates but for English and Welsh ones you can order from the GRO online. The address is:- www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates They will cost you £7 if you have the GRO reference number which can be found on Ancestry.co.uk or Findmypast.com or for early certificates on FreeBMD. For Scottish certificates you need to buy credits for the ScotlandsPeople website. Kath. x

	Order them online from GRO using charge card. Same price as they pay in England. (7 pounds)
