Shocking to think how much this could have saved over the years  :o Same applied to the wills which are even cheaper at £1.50. I note GRO is more expensive than Scotland's People though, which only charges £1.50 for births older than 100 years, marriages older than 50 years ago, and deaths older than 50  :).

If anyone belongs to Lost Cousins, it is free to join, there is a very clear explanation of how to order an image.

How old were they? Possible syphilis?

Yes, and the Irish records can be easily cut and are NOT truncated.

I have received 6 English birth certs 4 of which have pertinent info cut off. (66.66% not good error rate)

Thanks for that link but the forms are all blank and contain no info.

I have notified the GRO over a week ago, still awaiting a reply.

Regards
