I ordered a marriage cert online on 9th Feb- it gave me an estimated despatch date of 17th Feb.........now 22nd and still no sign of it.

I blame the BBC  ;D ;D ;D

The last time the WDYTYA programme was on,all the certs took ages.

Hope this helps,

Carol

I ordered 6 on Feb 8th. I received one on Monday (20th) and the rest today (22nd). I didn't think that was bad in view of WDYTYA etc.

I agree!

I don't care if it takes another week or two for the certificates to arrive as there will be more going onto GenesReunited.  Then we'll all have more people to find and then you can find out more about your family history.

I ordered 4 on 11 feb, but not expected to be dispatched until tomorrow.  Suppose they won't be here until well into next week.  :(
