GRO digital images £2.50

[DavidG02]

Could it be an International option?

I have just ordered a Digital Image and will search my piggy bank for more money and people to add images for

Thank you for the information

I have paid for about 5 or 6 .pdf's at £7 a certificate over the last few months.  I've only just seen the link tonight for a £2.50 jpg image.  This is fantastic news and I can't believe I never saw it before!

Don't forget that a small proportion (a few %) of entries are not available as an online image for some technical reason.

Why is there a large gap in the years between 1934 and 1984?

Because they have not yet been digitized. You can search that period on FreeBMD and order a paper certificate via the GRO site.

Yes thank you I saw that. 

Have you heard anything about marriages being available at any time?

I have tried to order a death cert from 1894 in Brighton as a digital download for £2:50 but get told it is not yet available as a downloadable image. May be that technical reason, as Andrew Tarr has explained.

Not sure if anyone has commented more recently and already responded to the question ot dates and marriages. So apologies if I'm repeating

Death record images are now available for most entries up to 1957 but birth entries are still covered by the 100 year rule, so a new year will become available each year. Marriages are not likely to be available as either PDF or Digital Images, for the foreseeable future because they hadn't been filmed when the excellent DOVE project was shelved. A great pity and to my mind. very short sighted. I know I'm biased. Scotland has bee far ahead of England and Wales in terms of making records available online and it seems to have become self financing and enabled them to digitise their archives. I could be mistaken but although digital images do have to be paid for and I think they're currently more expensive than the GRO's, they have still been very useful.

I think some Irish records may be free as well but that would need checking as the source for that said that Scottish records are cheaper than I've found them to be. Very happy to be corrected.
