Kingston-upon-Thames and Sunderland were both very quick and helpful but they were both hand-written and I do rather like the orginal ones better!!! Tammy :~) |

The Isle of Wight is very quick to reply. You can look up the Free BMD, click on the individual and download an application form from the IoWFHS. |

Hi I've looked on Genuki but cannot find details of the offices that would deal with the death certificates for the Coventry area in the 1840's and 1850's Does anyone know who that would be? Cheers Lyndsey |

Lucky lucky you! Not waiting on certs but that's good timing I think the quickest I had some delivered was 3 days. Hope the cert gave you the info you needed!!! Zoe |

Blimey - thing is, most of the London ones just direct you to the GRO. |

A full list of offices and links to them can be found at the Genuki site. The certs aren't quite as 'pretty' as the GRO certs and for a marriage you may well have to quote the church before a cert is issued. In my experience most local offices now copy the original entry,but some still issue a 2006 handwritten or typed copy of the record entry,it's always worth a quick phone call before ordering. Cost is usually £7 via postal application and cheque payment,£8 on the flexible friend. Most offices have a website (usually the county council) where you can download an application form or even order online. Glen |

Just to make those of you waiting for certificates green with envy, I ordered a certificate on-line at 1321 on Monday 13th. The certificate was delivered this morning, Wednesday 15th at 0921. I used Hertfordshire County Council's on-line service and it only cost £8! Well worth the extra £ for not having to wait for the GRO to deliver. If you know the details of who you are looking for, give it a try. Has anyone put together a list of local register offices that deal promptly with certificate requests? I've dealt with Durham, Truro, Stafford & Sandwell (West Midlands) and have found them very speedy. Anyone want to add any more offices? Or even ones to avoid? Di |
