	You can't see birth or death certs anywhere, you have to buy them. Sam x

If I wanted a certificate say for someone who married in Dundee and I went to my local registry office I would have to buy the certificate, BMD's are all the same they don't give you anything, you have to pay to buy them in England or Scotland. The only difference is on Scotlands People where you pay to view them. Betty
