I know this will be a silly question to all you experienced genes hunters, but can someone tell me if I can order Birth etc certificates through this site? If not which is the site to go to? Thanks for any help.

Jools That isnt the site that most people use - does it have some advantage over the GRO site that I don't know about? LOL OC

I always use www.gro.gov(.)uk/gro/content/certificates/ Not sure what the difference between the two sites is. JoJo I see, they are both the same site!!

Thanks for the address. You can tell I'm very new at this and haven't a clue! But where can I find a census pre 1901?

If you don't have a sub to ancestry, there are lots of bits of census transcripts on the net. Complete 1881 transcript is on www.familysearch.org nell
