Oh dear - I think it may be the Mary McCree b Poplar & living there in 1871.  Can you cancel your order for the death cert??

Could Philip have died at sea?

I have sent an email to GRO this morning, requesting to cancel my order - but I don't hold out much hope of them allowing a cancellation.

I'm not usually a "giver up" but trying to find out what happened to Mary Ann and Philip, and why they sent their son to live with relatives in Ullapool is just baffling me.

Thank you for trying to help  :-*

Just an update.
The GRO obviously wouldn't entertain my request to cancel my order, even though not even 24 hours had passed. Wouldn't you think that if they couldn't refund the £7, they could have given a credit note - but no.
As you feared, the death certificate for Mary McCree was not for the Mary McCree that I am researching.

I am so sorry - I should have checked first but it seemed like the right one given the name and age and locality.

Please, please don't apologise you have nothing to be sorry for.
We both followed what looked like a very promising lead.
