All you will get in the index is name, mother's maiden name (aft. 1911) and the numbers yu need to buy the certificate. You will only get the parents full names on the cert.

The full names will only be on the certificate, I'm afraid! Merry

thanks for your response but will I be able to get the parents names from the bmd index or will they only be on the original cert?

If you want any cert info not in the bmd indexes you have to buy the cert - unless its a Scottish one, where you can see it online. But you have to pay. nell
