Following what people have said on here, I ordered two from Wakefield office, and they said they will photocopy the originals and send it out to me tonight, so hopefully, they will be here in the morning. Fingers crossed |

I use Calderdale and it's fantastic. I ordered a death cert of a rellie whom I'm fascinated about. His name was Titus Appleyard and I think it's the name that draws me. Turns out he committed suicide by jumping off North Bridge, Halifax. The very nice person in Calderdale Reg Office photocopied a picture of the bridge and also put in a with compliments slip saying the inquest would probably be in the local paper and promptly gave me the address of the reference dept in the local library! You just can't fault that kind of service. |

I agree with Heather and Mo... Several london office will not deal with certs issued for family history research. Mo Southwark is one of my areas too :-((( |

Yes I was choked off by Southwark - but just remembered that Tower Hamlets were brilliant, BUT the cert sent had been written out in modern hand. |

Heather yep can verify that about Tower Hamlets. I have not ordered a cert from there.. didn't even try after asking Southwark and being told v rudely they didn't deal with that. However once i had the cert from ONS, i had a query so i called Towere Hamlets in the hope they would help...... and boy did they help... The very Kind lady checked out all siblings and while she wouldn't tell me names/addresses, if i mentioned one she said yes. She also confirmed all other siblings (7) had the same maiden name. true she took a couple days.. doing it when she had time... but she didn't even have to do that!!! |

Hi ! I got my death certificate today from Nuneaton - that's 3 working days...however, to my dismay I discovered I'd ordered the wrong one!!!!! The certificate I got was for a little lad aged 3 months whose cause of death was 'Atrophy, no medical attention'. I had to look Atrophy up in Google and the description is as follows: 'Atrophy is the progressive loss of muscle mass, or wasting, caused by reduction in the size or number of muscle cells'. I can not help but be sad for this poor little baby , even though he's not a relative. |
