Horatia, I wouldn't ask for the cost split,after all a common rellie and your help with the headstone etc, I just need the second marrige cert and death cert then that completes the set for George,but if i can get the 2nd marriage details via Berwick records i will. Still working on the will,seems worse than his fathers but i will crack it in the end.I'll forward anything i find as always. Glen

Glen, I sent an enquiry to Fakenham Connect because Charles Waller's death doesn't appear on the GRO index. However, when I applied to them they had a record of the death. However, it is hand written cert but after having NO RECORD of Charles Waller's death, a hand written one was a lot better than nothing. I think George Hay and Maria must have married in a registry office because I have looked through numerous parish registers (Holkham and Wells) hoping to find their marriage. The Wallers often frequented congregationalists church so they could have married at the Congregational/Independent Church at Wells Next the Sea. I belong to the Wells Local History Group and have access to all the C of E marriages there for St Nicholas Church at Wells and the marriage doesn't appear on there. Let me know if you need any further help. Glen, if you get a copy, I don't even mind giving you £3.50 towards the cost of the cert. Cheers, Horatia

LOL Well you know who one of the people on the cert will be then! Was it scanned do you recall,or was it handwritten? Glen

Hi Glen, Yes, I have ordered a certificate through them. Coincidentally it was the death certificate of Charles Waller (father of Maria Waller)! Cheers, Horatia

I wondered if they supply copy certs,but can't get an answer from the phone number quoted,the website doesn't help much either. Sent an e-mail but no reply,has anyone ever used the office,it covers the Cromer/Wells coastal area. Glen
