Make sure you tick the box on the first page that asks " Is the GRO reference known"
Then on page 3 you will only need to fill in those sections with red stars.
Make sure that the charge is no more than £7 before you click to accept.

well i got a e-mail from england today, i have a refund for the certificate of henry willis born 1855 1b 24 st. pancras.
I added john willis as his father!
Wondering if that is right or wrong, or maybe i just should have not added john willis in the first place??
Kind of lost
Thanks Sifer

could use some help!!!!
I found a henry john willis born 1855 pancras anda henry william willis born 1857, then found the 1861 census for the willis family and it shows john willis, caroline willis wife, caroline willis daughter and a henry willis son. But at the end of it it shows ds??? does that mean deceased???
if so then i guess henry william willis born 1857 was dead at 1861!!!!! But at the same time i found a henry john willis born 1855 along with that???
Could use some advise to make sure i am looking at the same one i should be!
Thank You Sifer

When you say, "at the end of it it shows ds" -- where exactly do you mean?

'ds' might mean 'domestic servant' if it's under 'occupation'. If he was deceased he wouldn't be counted on the census .... umm, what if he was laid out in the front room? I wonder if he would be emumerated then? 
What was his ccupation on other censuses? 'ds''domestic servant is usually an occupation for women - perhaps someone may know otherwise.
Of course I may be completely wrong ...

Well this is what i found on free bmd!!
I found a henry john willis born 1852 pancras anda henry william willis born 1857, then found the 1861 census for the willis family and it shows john willis, caroline willis wife, caroline willis daughter and a henry willis son. But at the end of it it shows ds??? does that mean deceased???
if so then i guess henry william willis born 1857 was dead at 1861!!!!! But at the same time i found a henry john willis born 1855 along with that???
Could use some advise to make sure i am looking at the same one i should be! because i found their parents which i think is right " john willis and caroline murray willis married with caroline as their daughter born 1853 am i looking right
Thanks Sifer

Hi Sifer
I'm not quite sure where this "ds" you refer to is exactly but if iit s in the Occupation column then is "do" which means "ditto" ie Scholar , the same as Caroline, but if its at the very end of the line in the Where Born column, then it is actually "as" and is the last two letters of St Pancras which was where he was born.
It does not mean deceased.
Andy
