Just had another look and the site still seems to be "down". One of my cousins uses it quite a lot, so I will ask him next week - he is away at the moment.

Google, I find that one of the best ways. You'll sometimes find an obscure piece of information.

Just had a look, but Genogold seems to be "down" at the moment. I haven't used it for a few weeks, but I did not pay then. Found a lot of information from the parish records.

There are no certificates (birth marriage or death) before July 1 1837 ...... that's when registration started.


Before that, you have to find the parish records.

Which town / parish?
Many parishes in Devon have volunteer online parish clerks.
