I would like to order Sarah Tivey Birth Cetificate but have difficulty finding the correct BMD reference due to the number of Sarah Tivey's born in the area.
Facts that I know about Sarah Tivey are
Father named as William Tivey, Occupation Blacksmith on her marriage certificate to Henry Cockerton in 1864. Mother named as Ann on censuses ? (Ann Draper) Born about 1844 aged 20 on marriage certificate. Census gives various birthplaces ie Porpman, Derbyshire. Darley, Derbyshire. Darley Abbey.
I would be gratefu for any help in ordering the correct one. Thanks Teresa
That should tell you all you need to know. There is a part of the form where you can ask them to check references including parent's names, spouse names etc. They say that if you have done your own searching in the GRO indexes and have found more than one reference to the name you are researching, or are unsure which is the entry you require, they offer reference checking online. The charge is £7 for action on the first entry, which includes the cost of the certificate, and £3 for checking each subsequent reference against the information you have provided. You must give one piece of information that you are sure will appear on the certificate, e.g. the exact date of the event. A certificate will only be issued if the entry matches the checking point you give them.
Hope this helps, Barbara
