When posting a reply are you allowed to post the original census document instead of the transcript .So far I have never seen it done

Do you mean the census image, Fredk? Images can't be posted to the boards but they can be attached to a PM - probably have to be saved to your own computer first.

The only way you could show an image would be to save it to a photo hosting service such as Imageshack and then post a link to the image.

I suppose you can put it in keepsafe and make it public. There might be some legal problems though.

KenSE, like the copyright of BMDs you can only post a picture of the section you have a query about.

But as you cannot post pictures to threads on here it's all down to whether you do a link to the 'piece' or ask people to take a look and come back with any help

The following is a link to the guidance given for copying Birth, Death, Marriage and Civil Partnership Certificates. This informaton is on the National Archives website.

As far as I can tell there is no restriction as to the amount of the certificate you can post to the web.

ChrisinWessex - I think the copyright comes in depending on how and why you are showing it. Odd I know.

So you cannot show it for monetary gain, but can display on a website like Ancestry, its all rather bizarre.
