Hi
Does anybody know whether it is possible to obtain BMD Certificates from Vancouver if you live in England when you have the registration numbers.
Also is there a website that gives either monumental inscriptions or details s of where a person maybe buried in Vancouver.
thank you
Norma

I wonder if this site might help?

Genealogy Certified Registration Copy:-

For numerology, astrology, or general interest purposes, Vital Statistics can provide the exact time and birthweight for your own or your child's birth, if the information was collected as part of the registration process in place at the time the birth was registered. We obtain this information from a search of Physicians' Notices of Births (PNOB), which are only available from 1944 to the present. Time of birth and weight (when available), is provided in a separate letter along with the Genealogy Certified Registration Copy.
