Claire, believe it or not, the courier service is marked Switzerland! How they get there I dont know.

Well Keith, if you must live in these exotic places ...................!

I usually get mine from the local office.

But the Staffordshire ones don't take phone orders or credit cards!

Grrr

Wife got one yesterday ordered on 1st, still waiting for second ordered at same time.
Still waiting for mine ordered same time, probably another two weeks to get to me :-((

Ordered 26 Jul, Despatch date 1 Aug, got it 6 Aug

I get all mine from the GRO as everyone I order is from a different district which completely confuses me!

When did you order it?

Tracey :)

Mine turned up on 6th

Well today could be the day i get my certs, but the post never arrives til about 11am.....

..gone are the days you wake up and the post is on the doorstep!!

Grrrrr

Tracey :)

I'm going on Holiday on the 11th... i'm hoping to get it before then, or it's gonna be another week of not knowing (bearing in mind i've been none the wiser for the last 4 years...)

It just seems to not know for 4 years is ok, but as soon as you order the cert you want the given right to know the data NOW!!!!

Oh i have to love the Scotspeeps site for that, you find you wanna know you pay you download...simple!

Tracey mine cert still hasn't turned up so it looks like they are running late

Thanks Tracey just 2 more weeks to go then hopefully then i will prove the deep dark secrect in my other halfs family

Debbie Scottish ones are 20 working days... so 4 weeks!!

(the last ones i had were just shy of 6 weeks)

Tracey

do the scottish ones takes longer, i have been waiting 2 weeks now

I ordered two certs the evening of 26th July and they arrived this morning. On with the search now.

Tracey don't forget that person who still has the unresolved problem of putting BC in their tree.

Ahhhh yes Claire, i believe you've actually created something someone else wishes to collect??

Your 9.95 has actually been used to help you create something to be collected by someone else and added to their 10,000,000,000 names already on their tree, all close relations of course and completely in contact with all of them...

Now just to find that elusive John Smith who was born sometime between 1843 and 1913, he was 5 foot 1 blue eyes and had a dog called Rex, do you know him??

Tracey :)

Buy a cert Tracey? Thought I'd bought a tree with my 9.95 membership!

I went to the Records office in Preston last friday and ordered some certs. We picked them up on Monday and they cost £3 each. Photocopies of the registered we found them in. Well chuffed !
There are two marriage certs on each page and so I actually have three certs that may belong to someone else.
Try it, it's fun.

I would wager they are all people who watch WDYTYA and think it takes 4 hours and 5 mouse clicks to find your entire family going back to 1840.

I would also wager they are all people just wanting birthdates but not actually wanting to buy a cert!!!

Pretty much like most of the newbies on the boards here!!

WDYTYA has a lot to answer for!!
