Hello again Heather sorry to be a pain but are the reference numbers you refer to the letters and page number by the persons name? Also is the GRO also to be found on Ancestry or does she have to look somewhere else for that???? Many thanks Val :~)

Val, The bmd index is on Ancestry and with the reference numbers you can purchase certificates from the GRO and they cost £7 each.

Ancestry is the best possible purchase at the moment. It costs about £70 a year, and you can search to your heart's content, 24/7. Regards Jennifer

Ancestry is the best free source of bmd info.......there are additional records on findmypast........notably overseas registrations.......but it is pay-to-view. Reg
