Surname Patrick death 1st qtr 1951 Missing from GRO index

[rosie99]

I wonder whether they would accept the fact that we can link over 10 of the entries after Alice G on the list with the probate index under the surname of Patrick.

So ... IF  I order the cert as per a normal order -- and ask for it to be checked  first?? 

I order it as Paton and add a note that the actual name should be Patrick and if so then
Carry on with the order...

will that work ........

if you order online you can't asked for it to be checked as you have to enter the gro reference numbers.

if you order the certificate without the reference you do get extra fields to fill in but there isn't a text box 'advising' the gro to look under Paton. I know the gro staff use the index and may still not find the correct entry. And it will take 15 days at the end of which you may get a refund.

I've added a screen shot for ordering without the reference

Which is why I suggested ordering by phone so you can explain to whoever answers the phone that there is a potential problem with the index.

Do you think it would be worthwhile posting them the copies of the probate lists along with a letter of explanation.  They could at least spot check those that appear on that list.

As long as someone doesn't mind the cost of a stamp and copies of the probate calendar.

The GRO don't have a freepost address.

Oh   I am getting confused, but it doesn't take a lot these days.

Rosie it should be me paying for that...

AND   I will ring them tomorrow, and order the specific cert... I will wake up refreshed and re - think it all tomorrow   go through this nice and slowly..

Sorry to seem so dumb,  .....
