I e-mailed Bradford Register office and told them what i was looking for,,, they repiled saying they had found the entry and to send my credit card details in 2 seperate e-mails plus address and they would post it to me,,,i had no problems at all.

thank you again for replys at least i know not to expect to much a simple yes will do for me will keep you informed how it goes best wishes angie

i once emailed a register office asking for details on someone although i gave them details of who i thought was the father and all they could do was say yes or no as i was right in the father if this makes sense lol

Angela I often email Register Offices, asking if they can supply me with such and such a certificate, giving checking points. I either get a reply to say yes, they can and the reference I need is da de da, or (and this is far better in my opinion) No, because the father's name is wrong etc. I thus eliminate the wrong uns without spending a cent! And frequently, they phone or email me to query a possible spelling (its Holding, not Holden, do you still want it? Or - no father is named - do you still want it?) But what they will NOT do, is give you any info from the certificate itself until you have paid for it. Good luck Marjorie

thank you all for the feedback will definitly buy the cert as i need it to further my tree good luck to u all angie

I would be surprised if they send you anything unless they feel you are going to buy a cert.

HI YA I JUST GAVE THEM DETAILS OF THE PERSON I WAS LOOKING FOR,IT WILL BE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT INFO THEY WILL GIVE ME VIA EMAIL IV NEVER EMAILED ANY REGISTRY OFFICES BEFORE HOPE I GET GOOD RESULT AS IM STUCK ON MY TREE BEST WISHES ANGIE

I think they are likely to want you to pay for the cert first.

HAVE EMAILED A REGISTER OFFICE WITH DETAILS OF A BIRTH IM JUST WONDERING WHAT INFO WILL THEY SEND ME VIA EMAIL BEST WISHES ANGIE
