How do I go about getting information from GRO Index. What exactly is this? Anyone have the address to send for Birth, Marraige, and Death Certificates in the UK. I am in Australia.

There is a free index at www(.)freebmd(.)rootsweb(.)com www(.)1837online(.)co(.)uk is pay per view, and you can also order certificates from them online. Remember to remove the brackets

If you have an LDS family history centre near you, they have the GRO indexes for England and Wales. I don't think you can order online outside of the UK. Ros

Ros is right, on-line ordering is only available in the UK. But I am sure that one of us could help out with that, given the necessary information. Paul

Violet,you can order them by post,Here are some details from the GRO website When you apply by post, telephone or fax please send as much information as possible. The fuller the information you supply the easier it will be for staff to produce your certificate. If possible give full names of the person whose certificate you wish to trace, an exact a date as possible, and the place where the event took place. Any other information you can supply will also be of help. Please also send the appropriate fee. By post: You can apply in writing to: General Register Office PO Box 2 SouthportBy telephone: To order by telephone please ring +44 (0)870 243 77 88.
