I stumbled across the following webpage on the Direct.gov website which gives a lot of information regarding researching birth, marriage or death certificates (just copy and paste the address into the address bar at the top of internet explorer)

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Governmentcitizensandrights/Registeringlifeevents/Familyhistoryandresearch/DG_175464

For the more seasoned researcher there are some useful tables detailing registration districts that have now been closed and where the records have been transferred. There is also a table showing reference numbers against district which is useful for deciphering hard to read GRO indexes

Hopefully this is useful for some of you
