Find Ancestors

They asked me for her mothers maiden name, but this is what I want to find out from the certificate, It doesnt make sense, Regards Richard

Hi Richard I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. Is there any chance you could get your printer fixed or do you know anyone who has a printer and access to the internet and could print the form for you.............it would be so much easier. Heather Elaine, I thought they might have the facilities for printing a form off from their database...........obviously not.

Richard, I am VERY proud of you for going in the first place. I hope you are proud of yourself for getting as far as you did ?? I'm NOT frustrated with you .... ** but with them and the whole situation. Please don't be offended by my last remarks ... they aren't directed at you personally. Elaine :-)

Richard, Didn't you take the details of the birth and marriages with you ? If you did, then you could have explained to the lady at reception, that you are not very confident with filling forms out ... and she would / 'should' have done it for you or helped you. If you went without the details, then go back again and take the details with you. Give them to the lady and ask her to help you complete the form. They should be helpful ... but you need to tell them that you can't do it on your own. Elaine :-) Now I'm frustrated and don't care WHO knows it :-)

I went to West Bromwich today and went to reception at register office and the lady gave me a form to fill in. I found this really hard and I didnt know what details to put on the form so I had to walk out, Regards Richard

Ok, Thanks everyone, I will let you know how i get on tommorow evening, Richard

I'm sorry Richard but I don't know if they'll accept payment by the card. Perhaps you could ring and ask them? My certificate was posted to me but I know someone who ordered one later and he collected his. Sorry I can't give you definite answers. Heather

Richard, You walk straight in and speak to someone on reception. You can give them your address and ask them to post the certs to you or you can tell them you will collect. They will accept cash, postal order, cheque or card. Elaine :-)

Do I have to ring the buzzer at the front door?

Do I have to have them sent in post or can I go and collect them? Regards Richard

Does anyone know if the sandwell register office will accept payment with visa elactron card or will I need to pay with cash? Richard

No Richard I don't think so. Remember to have all the details and the Sandwell reference numbers with you then they'll deal with it quicker. Heather

Will they ask me to show proof of identity or anything like that?

Hi Richard I didn't have an appointment when I went to order a certificate but you could ring them first. There was a lady at the reception desk who gave me a form to fill in with my name and address and the details of the certificate I was ordering. Heather

Do I have to ring the register office to book an opointment or can I just arrive?

Good for you Richard:-) They probably wont be able to give you the certificates tomorrow but they will post them to you or tell you when you can collect them. Heather:-)

OK Richard. Good Luck Elaine & Jess :-))

Tommorow afternoon I am catching the bus to West Bromwich and I can call into the register office and I am going to order these certificates. This way I can be sure of recieving them, Regards Richard
