Hi Ian, All events after July 1837 should be on the GRO index of Births, Marriages and Deaths. If you search the index you will find the reference number that will allow you to send for the certificate. The GRO index has been filmed by the LDS so can be viewed at one of their centres anywhere in the world. It is also available in record Offices and larger libraries. Some of the index is on line at http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl and there is a pay to view website http://www.1837online.com/Trace2web/ The LDS have also filmed all the censuses 1841 - 1891. The 1881 and the 1901 are available on line. Hope this helps, Gwynne

Ian, This appears to be the same question you added a few days ago. What happened to all the info. from the replies you were given then? I think the conclusion then was that you will need to order certificates to proceed further. Crisa
