Hi Thats great news!!
Unfortunately I just tried and it was good, until I downloaded the image.
The image is a bit truncated and the lower half of the information is missing.  i.e. no Mothers Maiden Name, just her forenames.
How do I report this?
I've completed the survey but can't find the link to report this only an error in the indexes.
Thanks, Newbie

I had that for an 1842 death, the informant appears to have been a neighbour, but whether it says "present at the death" or her relationship to her is cut off as the image is a bit wonky. Other than that all other certs are fine.

As they are quite cheap, I can perhaps buy more deaths for possible candidates for relatives or ancestors.

In the past when I have ordered from the GRO I got a typed copy of a BMD cert a few times, I did for an 1851 death cert and an 1845 birth cert.

Does anyone know when they will be extending the available death cert dates?
