Christine, if you are inputting them to then order the certificate, beware! I am not sure but I think that Ancestry may charge a premium for this service. Certs should cost no more than £7 each, you can order them for this price directly from the GRO on www.gro.gov.uk. When you get to the ordering page it will ask you if the index ref is know, click yes and it will then go through to a screen where you input the volume and page. Helen

Sorry I know this must be annoying for some of you...
But when someone is so kind to let you know reg and vol numbers....
Where do you put them on ancestry?

Please help
Thankyou
Christine
