Thank you for some very sound advice, I have only ever ordered from GRO but will certainly be contacting more of the local offices in future, |

Yes they will send certs abroad and no extra charge for postage. |

Hi I emailed Islington but no reply so I rang up, the man says no certificates over 100 years and that most of them are done by GRO and they have not got enough staff! So I emailed GRO but I have to send for the both certificates, I do not mind but I reckon they will be both wrong I just wanted to speak to somebody to clarify the situation, so I will get one certificate with Male Adams and one for William Jeffrey, correct one being William Adams, now I know it could have been the family who gave the wrong information but can you get this changed Sheila in Spain |

When this thread was started by Joy five years ago, the use of e-mail to contact register offices is noted. Like many folks I have used e-mail extensively with great success! Regardless if I contact an office by e-mail or telephone I always whittle my request to the year and the quarter for a birth or death. I never ask for a marriage unless I know the parish - staff don't have time to check entries for (the many) parishes. |

Hi I have been looking for my grandfathers birth certificate for 2 years sent to GRO for broad search, nothing. Thought I would read your thread and maybe ask the local office to do a better search and something made me look at a different channel. My information was 1857 Paddington William Adams I had looked for mothers maiden name etc, however I have found him William Jeffrey 1857 Islington GREAT Looked on Freebmd it shows a male Adams and also a William Jeffrey do I get the certificate from GRO or Islington and has anybody got an address for Islington the one I found on Google was for certificates after 1910. I am living in Spain but I am willing to ring, write or do it online. I am so happy Sheila (Sorry my ggrandfathers middle name is Jeffrey this being his mother maiden name) |

I guess I have been lucky so far, the register offices at Wigan and Leigh, and surrounding area have been extremely helpful because with the difference in bounderies now to the 1800's it is not always easy to tell who to apply to, having said that I have also found the GRO on line service to be good too, they charge £9.25 but you don't need to send a stamped addressed envelope. |
