You can order certificates on-line from www.gro.gov.uk - the best place, as the charge is £9.25 including postage.  Other providers may charge more.

Use:

Ernest Edwin Robertson - W Bromwich (Registration district) 6b (Volume) and 557 (page number)

Added:  March quarter 1854.  :)

I'll get that ordered ASAP. It *should* have Mary Ann Morrell as mother on there right?


Also, Ive come across this Leave and Release document which seems to be regrading the family? http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/rd/17febb47-8e2a-41d4-b24a-d7c34fe99475

Thank you for the update, pity it thrown your line into question, however it's always best to check the facts.  :)

Did Edwin have a sister or relation called Charlotte?

Just wondering if Edwin and Eliza 'adopted' Ernest Edwin and by therefore keeping him in the family, especially as it would appear that Edwin and Eliza have no other children.
