Just posted this on tips, but thought I'd post it on here too.

Don't know if this has already been posted, but the prices for certificates are going up on April 6th, from
£7 to £9.25. See below.

Not good news is it? I see that there has not been an increase since 2003 but very suspicious that the price goes up almost as soon as the Passport office takes over.

Good grief. I must see if I can afford to order a few before they go up.

All the prices for the different things are quite a hike aren't they?
Guess this hobby of ours is going to get more expensive.

and they have not given much notice have they, there has been nothing in the family history books so obviously they don't know.
