I have inherited some original certificates relating to this couple & their son Stanley [deceased].

They are related to me by marriage, if anyone would like them please get in touch.

That's a kind thought Josey

Try 'advertising' them on this board:  https://www.rootschat.com/forum/unwanted-certificates/
(Come to think of it, there's a couple I should put on there too ...................)

Good idea, would I have to put them under S AND W?

I have located a great grandson in Swindon via ancestry [who  is thrilled] & I have already put all the details on freebmd. I will hold on to them for a bit in case more than one person wants them, then I can scan & send the original to one person & scans to others.

ADDED: Perhaps I could just ask a mod to move the post?

[CarolA3]

I'd put them under both S and W for maximum exposure.

All my certs are scanned into my laptop so they can be retrieved and copied any number of times.  In the unlikely event of finding someone as keen as your Swindon chap, I'd be inclined to send him the original and let him deal with any other applicants as it's presumably his family rather than yours?

Again, good thinking, Carol, will do; yes it is his family.
