that is really good am pleased , except one is the wrong one YUK, and the other I cannot read what he died of or most of it so hopefully if I scan it someone can tell me

Hi Val If you can get scanned in pm me and I will give u home email. Will see if I can decipher for you. Ordering from GRO seems slow and long process (frustrating). Normally have friend in England who has been ordering for me from the individual counties. Sure if faster than waiting for Cda Post snail mail! I have to add about a week to shipping date before I begin looking for cert! Patience is definately NOT my middle name Sue

Really??? ooooooh - how exciting. mine were due for despatch on the 7th too - but I won't get home from work til 8pm ;o((( Surely at least ONE of the 7 I'm expecting will have made it through!

thanks very much Sue will do that if I can get my scanner to perform it has bad days, Why dont you get them delivered to your friend she could scan them so you know whats on them quicker then send them through the post ???? Zoe You never know hope your certs are there when you get home , I must say I was surprised as my last lot had a despatch date of the 29th June and only arrived yesterday

Glad you've got a result at least in some part Val, Zoe - I spoke to really helpful man at GRO this morning- He said that he was issuing certs due for despatch 7th and he knows that they all went out on Friday. :) Simone x

I was amazed Val! I've been waiting for a copy of a will for 5 weeks & got all excited when I saw the big, uk envelope. Almost disappointed when I saw it was the cert - which I hadn't been holding my breath about as it was just to confirm that I wasn't chasing shadows.. Good luck with yours, Sarah :-)

Joan that was quick, and Sarah fancy being disappointed to get your Certs, but I know exactly what you mean.
