Laura,Anyone can ask for anyones certificate which is why they are so important in researching you family tree. You don't have to provide any proof that you are a relative because it doesn't matter. If you search 1837 website you will be able to get the year,quarter,volume and page details send this to GRO http://www.statistics.gov.uk/nsbase/registration/certificates.asp It will cost £7 which is the cheapest price,but if you can't supply those details it will cost you more.Check the website anyway for all the information and prices etc. The 1837 site will cost you money to view information but the freebdm site is free but is not complete. Hope this helps, post another message if i haven't made things clear. Steve |
