	I have always purchased these from the Register Office where the events were lodged. However I rang Liverpool yesterday to be told the waiting time would be 6 - 8 weeks! I know members obtain certs from Southport - what is the waiting time at the moment does anyone know? Thank you

	Have you tried ordering online? Usually takes about a week and only £7. http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/
