Member Since: July 2003 Posts: 0 Send Message	Hi Has anyone used the Record Offices in Bradford to obtain photocopies of original documents. I ordered a marriage certificate from the General Record Office in London and whilst the info was interesting I was hoping for a copy of the original to see the handwriting of my ancestors etc. Has anyone managed to obtain photocopy of a birth/marriage/death certificate from the record offices in Bradford, for example the West Yorkshire Archives?

Its amazing to see something your ancestor has signed - makes it all seem real
