No, you can order online from the General Records Office (GRO). Certs cost £9.25.

www.gro.gov.uk/

You will need all the info as given on Freebmd, be sure to fill in form accurately!

No you order from the GRO but you need the reference numbers from FreeBMD to do so.

Wayne Report 6 Apr 2012 17:48

Thank you, yes she was born in 1913, it says on freebmd that she was born in 1912, a minor discrepancy but it's definitely her, Lilian M Constable, Cumberland. Can i order a birth certificate from freebmd then?

brummiejan

brummiejan Report 6 Apr 2012 17:34

You need her birth cert really. Look on here for details which you will need to order one:

http://www.freebmd.org.uk

When was she born roughly? If before 1911 it might be possible to find her on a census.
