Hi dawn, I ordered it through ancestry and I'm in Australia, it said 28 days which I was a bit disappointed with, fingers crossed it gets here before that 😊

Don't ever order from ancestry, order directly from the general register office  in the UK. It will only cost you £9.25, and you should get the certificate faster as well. :)
Mullingar, Westmeath Ireland: Gilligan/Wall/Meagher/Maher/Gray/O'Hara/Corroon (various spellings)
Bristol: Woodman/James/Derrick

Gloucestershire:Woodman/Mathews/Tandy/Stinchcombe/Marten/Thompson
Wiltshire: Mathews
Carmarthen: Thomas, Lewis
Australia: Mary Lewis, transportee, married Henry Brown - what happened to her?

Ancestry are acting as a middle man and taking a sum from you on top of the £9.25 statutory certificate charge.

Please try your best to cancel the order if you can and order direct.

I agree with most of  the above, I'm wondering if its DKB in front of that surname. I'm not sure what that surname says though.
