Can anyone advise the best place from where I can get death certificates from British Colombia, Canada.
Also what is the cost compared to stirling.

Thanks.

Margaret, are you in Canada?
If so in your opinion would that be a reasonable cost for a cert. I haven't had any from abroad before.

Yes I'm in Canada but I've never bought a certificate here. My ancestors are all in England. Just checked with hubby, he thought he paid about $25 for his here in Ontario but when I checked the Registrar General site for Ontario they were quoting $72. 25 for birth certificates and $62. 25 for deaths. Incredible!!! Am I reading it wrong?

I started researching when I was in college in the late 70's - 1980's. I ordered all of my certificates from the Ontario government and they were $10 (I believe the earlier ones were $5.00). So, if the fees were $10 about 25 years ago, the cost must have risen since then.

My mum and I were trying to order copies of certificates several years ago and just genealogy ones were less expensive than ones needed for actual proof of marriage. (Hope that makes sense.)
