morning all on a horrible wet day. Sent off for a cert Monday morning 11.30 am and guess what? its arrived today 11 oclock. Now considering its so near xmas, and everything is hectic is that not good service? WORTH EVERY PENNY OF £7.00. A MERRY XMAS TO YOU ALL, AND WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT, THAT YOU ALL HAVE A WORRY FREE 2006. TED. Icidentally the cert I sent for was the death of my g/uncle who was crushed between the buffers of a train and carriage in CREWE STATION in Dec 23rd 1879. now that couldnt have been a happy xmas for his wife and family, wouldnt wish that on anyone.

Val, yea me too. i ordered a cert 2 weks ago and when it came I said to myself 'hey ive seen this before' digging out the file on the family, I found that I had sent off for it 6 months earlier. Wonder if the GRO will be full of Xmass cheer, and give me my money back.. No Im only joking. have a happy XMAS. TED XX |

Hi Ted I think I will just go for appreciating a good service thanks. With 4 children plus their other halves and 10 grandchildren and relations coming out of the woodwork my christmas gift list is long enough. I will toast them at my christmas lunch though. Have a great christmas and good ancestors hunting for 2006. Regards Irene |

I have not bought any certificates twice but have bought them then seen the information for free on Family search. What I do is keep all my certificates in date order in sleeves in a file and put copies of the certificates if I make up family files. I look at my BMD cert files most days to check out info. Good Luck to you all. Irene |

Hear Hear! I also ordered a cert Monday - estimated despatch 23/12, it arrived 16.45 p.m. today - 22/12. (living in the rural wilds of Devon, this was our first (and only) post of the day!) Excellent service! Angela |
