3 Weeks !!.......I suppose that's a bit better.......I suppose I was expecting too much for the waiting time to be days rather than weeks.....lol Thanks

I ordered a cert on the 26th of May and the estimated date was 15th of June. It arrived on the 9th June!! so it looks like about 2 weeks at the moment.

I am off to The Smoke tomorrow for 3 days to do some research and I hope that the two certs I am waiting for arrive by then. Two, which I sent off as a Priority arrived today but eagerly await the delivery of two more. Ben

It still pays to have a look at the service from the local office whereever possible. Usually quicker than the GRO and often a copy of the original cert,not the transcribed GRO version. Glen
