Hope someone can help! I've managed to find some relatives on the 1901 census and other records on this site. Next to names, dates and places, it also lists vol. and page. What do these mean, and will they help me to obtain copies of birth/marriage/death certificates? Thanks Jennifer

You need the volume no. and page number to order from the General register office (google).You can fill in a form online with the information that you have,pay,and it will be sent to your address. Fran
