Find Ancestors

Did you know the GRO reference? If so you the cost should have been £7 not £10. On the first page you come to when you are placing your order you will see a question IS THE GENERAL REGISTER OFFICE INDEX KNOWN? - you need to click the YES button. IF you have done that then you will only be charged £7. You said you were asked for the exact date of birth. You will see that there are some red asterisks next to SOME of the boxes. It is compulsory to complete those marked with this asterisk. Other boxes where there is no asterisk (e.g. date of birth) do not have an asterisk - and therefore it is NOT compulsory to complete these. If you have the GRO reference then I would suggest you DO NOT put any info in boxes which do not have an asterisk (unless you want to use these as a checking reference)

Give me a cigar. I just ordered my first certifiacte on the GRO site!!!! I need to lay down. It was a stressful experience and I have to say the page is a little confusing to the certifiacet 'virgin'. I put in all the information and as I did not know the axect DOB I (yes as you said) clicked a confusing button (yes it is confusing for you hard nosed experts out there) that gave the choice to enter the quarter, district, page and ref etc etc. It then happily took my visa payment. £10 not £7 !! Lets hope its the right Hilda???!!!! If this works I may be brave and try another i.e her marriage but I hope her birth will be enough? what if her father aka Francis William TRIPP) b. 18 March 188 had her via another woman??? I hope they will refund me. I can see now why its costs so much to do this research!!! Thanks to all for the ref info and fingers crossed. Justin
