The GRO is normally cheaper £9.25.    I think Lancashire charges £10.

I doubt there would be much difference in time for delivery

I've decided to order the 1874 marriage cert for Thomas Alcock and Ann, because it's the only way I can be sure I have the correct people. Would you recommend doing this through Lancashire BMD or GRO? Which would be quicker?

Lancashire has original certificates. The facsimile copies I have from Lancashire show original signatures.

Some of mine might be among them. One of my reasons for following and contributing to certain threads is in the hope of gleaning information and sources which may be useful later. Mutual benefit.  :)

This can't be guaranteed, I have some from Lancashire that do not show original signatures  ;)

Well just to keep everyone up to date, it was an 1874 Roman Catholic marriage, and I had been heading down the wrong track entirely with Thomas Henry Alcock's father. He was not the gilder Thomas Alcock, he was John Alcock, tailor, who had died before the marriage date. Just goes to show one mustn't presume.
