Hi
On Free BMD there is a birth entry for Eliza Fairy Mar Q 1852 Huntingdon.
Sometime ago I looked at the entry on Ancestry and decided it might be Elisha] Fairy who later died Sept Q 1854 in Lutterworth. (Free BMD has checked the entry and now has both names printed for the same entry.)
I wrote to the GRO explaining that there was some comfusion over the entry and gave the parents of Elisha explaining that IF the parents were correct I would like the cert.
They have sent the Cert for a second Elisha born to that family  in 1862! Unfortunately I already had the 2nd Elisha! The first Elisha was born & died between censii but I know the family was in Pailton because another son was born 1853 and I have the Cert!.
What are my chances of redress from the GRO??
Any hints/advice very welcome!
Cheers
Marlene

Hi Dale:
I would try telephoning them ( I don't have the number to hand but there is one on the GRO compliment slip or the confirmation of order form). I had a query about the late arrival of a certificate last year and the lady I spoke to was most helpful, very understanding and no "call centre" attitude at all.
Good luck.

Hi Marlene
If you look at the full index on Ancestry (there is no scan shown on freebdm for this item) it is definitely Elisha Huntington 3B 222 - I assume that is your note on FreeBDM
Meanwhile, I don't know the GRO rules, but I would certainly contact them & advise that they checked and supplied an incorrect item - and include the correct name & reference number for your Elisha, as originally supplied.

If you specified March quarter 1852 parents x and y and they sent you an 1862 cert with parents x and y then they haven't got a leg to stand on. But if you ordered it by letter rather than online it might depend on your precise wording

I thought you'd be busy with Aust/India cricket fiasco!
I explained the dilemna of the Eliza v Elisha and gave the dates as per Free BMD. Unfortunately where you have the opportunity online to elaborate I mentioned the 2nd Elisha!
BUT it was clearly HUNTS and not B'ham that I wanted!
Happy New Year!

Do let us know the outcome - hopefully it will be good 
Trish
PS Last time I watched cricket was Eng/Oz Centenary test 1977 - in the days when cricket was a game enjoyed by 2 teams and thousands of spectators.
How we can accept such nonsense as the news headline of the day is beyond my understanding. We would chastise our children for behaving this way.

I agree Trish! it reminds me of the comment made about "gentlemen of the Air Force" with which my father used to tease his sailor brothers!
No gentlemen on the sports field these days!
Mind you I'm biased - there's no love lost between Kiwis and Aussies in sport, whatever the code!
Professionalism - bah humbug!
Cheers
