Hello Bill, you won't get cheaper than that when it comes to copy certificates

Depending on who, when and where you're researching then you might hit lucky with parish records for baptisms, marriages and burials. Different sites hold different collections. It's always worth a look on FamilySearch too. https://www.familysearch.org

Another idea is to google to find out if there's an on-line parish clerk for the area you're researching.

If you want to give us an idea of timescale and location we can try to point you in the right direction.

Hello all. I am located in Australia and am now researching my wife's family tree. For reasons of accuracy I do like to get copies of information contained in the records so I was wondering what is the most economical method of obtaining historical BDM information in English records. If I am reading the GRO site correctly it seems the only method to obtain such information as father's/ mother's name, place/date of birth/marriage/death etc is to purchase an actual BDM certificate for about £9.25 each. I would be grateful for any information as to whether there is a more economical method as I have quite a few I want to obtain.
Kind regards,
Bill
