Hi 1st of all i want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped me here in the search for my ancestors , i must apologise profusely to Jax for any upset i have caused her ....you have all been wonderfull so thank you very much

Jax is correct it will take me a while to get ma head round this lot as im not too good at sorting out who's who ,it has been a struggle for me these past 2 months and no rosey future for me im afraid but ile try

so Sorry Jax for having a go at you or as you say im twisting everything you say,maybe it looked that way but i assure ye it wasnt my intention .........

if anyone could possibly writee this out in some sort of order for me i would be very gratefull, and yes i agree with Dea i will order the cert asap

Sorry I have been asleep for a couple of hours but I noticed to saying you were going to look for the phone number to order the cert?

I did give you the link for GRO which is the best place to order from at a fixed price of £9.25 where as the local offices could well charge more

Here it is again incase you missed it

No SS ask as much as you like but.....if it is about this side of your family please add any requests to this thread then work would not get duplicated.

Anyone who has helped on here will notice if anything new has been added
