I ordered one last Tuesday and it gave me 4th or 5th of August as dispatch date, so next Monday or Tuesday, which I was quite suprised at, so will wait and see!!!

I ordered one yesterday -- I'll let you know!

I'll let everybody know, because I know there is a crowd of at least three people here who are dying to know who the parents of Erna Augusta "Mouch" (just another mistranscription of Monck) were ... since when she was born in 1887 my Ernest Augustus Monck née Hill was in Australia, and who else would name a kid that?

... except his sister, Ada Lennox Monck née Ada Lennox Monck Hill, then Ada Lennox Coke, who was never seen again after the birth of her third child in 1882 and whose husband Charles Henry McCock née Coke the bankrupt rich boy (and their kids) was apparently living with some Canadian hussy named Clare at the time ...

(Sadly, Erna Augusta died in the following quarter, so no censuses for me.)

It's always been about 2 weeks to the colonies here in the past, but I haven't ordered one recently, so we shall see.

Ok cool, so looks like the 6th is gonna be good going then.

Cool, nice to see they have got their act together...

I thought i'd order mine before the next series of 'Who do you think you are' airs... i imagine the delivery time will get extended again!

Anyone ordered any certs from the GRO recently?

I have just ordered 4 certs from the GRO (only because the local office doesn't take phone orders and i live too far away!)

How long on average currently are we waiting for certs? I know i have a dispatch date of 6th Aug, the last time i ordered it was a 3 week wait date!! and they arrived after 4 weeks.... I hate waiting!!

Thanks in advance

Tracey
