Family History Beginners Board / Have index numbers for record but shows as No Matching Results Found on GRO
« on: Friday 05 April 24 19:02 BST (UK) »
I've ordered lots of certificates in the past and not encountered this problem before so I'm stumped.
I'm looking for my great great grandfather Frederick Orton. I can find him in census records, I can find him in indexes on freebmd/ancestry etc, but when I try to order certificates from GRO it comes up as No Matching Results Found. I feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall.
I thought, well maybe, it's a misprint but I've cross referenced and I keep coming up with the same details.
Frederick Orton. Died 1895 Age 47 Leicester Vol 7a Page 144
But apparently that record doesn't exist according to GRO. I just don't know where else to look.
If its a gap in the records, well fair enough, but as far as I can see the records for 1895 should be there?
I'd really appreciate if someone could shed some light on what's happening here.
Thanks x
