I am about to order a Birth Cert the image says Lydia Guttent(au)in brackets then G ,just like that is that how I will order it then??

I tend to put what is in the actual index, not what has been transcribed, but what I read.

hi thats what is on the page for the order with the page and volume number is that what you mean thanks

Do you mean on te FreeBMD part or on the actual image of the GRO index? Like Tom says you need to put what is on the actual index. It might be hard to read if what you have seen is transcribed and is in brackets. Anne

thats what I'd put, it means that if they queery it, you can say exactly where you got it from, rather than you putting what should be there and them saying they cannot find it, and then not giving you your money back because you didn't give the 'correct info'

thanks I will put whats there then dont want to waste my money again

I'd put it exactly the way it is in the index, that way they should find it. Kath. x

image says Guttentag, Lydia Mile end 1c 605 (The above is what I would put)

thanks for that, I remember some time ago I tried to get a death cert and because I put his middle name which wasnt on the image they didnt send it , so dont want to make any mistakes again like that.

where did you get that Tom I got mine from ancestry and its spelt differently ???

Valerie, If you look at the image of the index, with all the people registered in that quarter, it is on the left hand page. When you click on view record, you then click on the image of the open book.

oh I didnt see that I just printed off the page with Lydia on it thanks again
