Help starting off please!

P.S.S.

I was just about to order the certificate on line, when I realised it costs £23.00!!!!! Are they kidding 

It'll have to be a trip to Myddleton Street then.

did you try to get the birth cert from the GRO?

it should cost £7.00

if you ask for it to be checked and it is incorrect they will only charge you £4.00 but not send the certificate.

are you in the UK?

Hi there,

Thanks so much for all your help!

Can you give me a link to order online for £7? I stopped when I found they wanted twenty three quids in the site I was on.

I'm in North London, so a visit to the Family Record Office is quite easy.....it's just that I'm so impatient!

Thanks,

Linda

this should take you to the home page

Yep, it should be £7 - the same on line or in person at the FRC.

Use the link Toni gave you.

It should be £7 if you know the reference. As it is on the Free BMD that is easy to find. Dont think I quoted it when I gave you the look up details. HAng on and I'll look it up again for you.....

OK:
Kathleen Steele
Apr/May/Jun 1910
Edmonton District
ref 3a 624

That should get it for £7!

Thanks for all your help, ladies!

Certificate ordered and awaiting results with bated breath

Make sure you let us know when it comes!!

I shall probably be back asking questions  !

So frustrating they haven't brought out the 1911 census yet!!

Patience is not my middle name.

Hi there,

Got the certificate!!

Kathleens' father is Leonard Thomas Keith Steele. Her mother is Ellen Steele formerly Read. I'm a bit curious about that wording. Doesn't it usually say "late", rather than "formerly"?
