GRO digital images

[coombs]

I have enjoyed the extension of digital images of deaths up to 1957, I hope we do get an extension of digital images of births past 1922. But I guess in that regard they do not want to go too recent, as many people will still be alive. Whereas you can still send off for a birth over 50 years ago I think.

So far I've found at least half of the records I'd like are "not available as digital images". Bit annoying.

Just wondering if anyone else has placed an order for a digital image recently.

I placed an order for 4 digital images on the 02.01.2024 unfortunately I neglected to take notice of the delivery times. I have this evening logged into my GRO account and attach a screenshot of the progress for one of the images ( minus reference number and name which I have erased ). I checked the other three images and all three have similar information regarding status.

Having used this service for the first time I was hoping someone with experience of ordering certificates could help explain what I am reading. Is the application still in progress or has it been despatched?

Many thanks in anticipation Steve

Thanks very much phil57 for your reply. I did click on "View" but it just took me to another tab displaying the order details.

I have just followed the advice given by bearkat and gained access to the digital image. I was slightly confused originally as they mentioned an email would be sent when the images where ready to view. I have not received an email ( also checking my spam folder ) however when I logged in this evening I viewed the page as per my screenshot but became confused as to the status of my order, hence my post.

Appreciate you taking the time to respond and offer assistance

Note the date limits ...

• Birth entries from 1837 up to 100 years ago
• Death entries from 1837 to 1887

Because the page-headers are not included, you will probably want to note the registration district in the file-name when you download and save an image.

Does anyone know why I can't get a digital image of an 1838 death - it should be included in the available range. I get an error message

Who are you looking for on that reference.  I have just tried ordering Thomas Bridles death on that ref and it gives me the option to select PDF.

Are you ordering from this GRO page 
Search the GRO Indexes
Search the indexes to identify the record you want.

You can order a Certificate, PDF or Digital Image.
