Nonetheless, Merry, I still like to think of them as being yours.

I am rather intrigued about the thinking behind such a grand name

after paying the hefty fees
There is a vast array of prices to be paid for England/wales certs - don't be taken in by vastly inflated charges to be seen on many websites including ancestry. If you buy from the GRO they re £9.25 regardless of where you live and sometimes a pound or so more from a local register office (more expensive from a local office if you are overseas). These are the max amount you should pay.

Thanks for that information Merry. I had seen 22.95 pounds - a big difference!

Nerrida,

As has been said; never, ever buy certificates directly through Ancestry or another family tree website. Always buy directly from the General Register Office:

You can use FreeBMD to find the information you need to order the certificate:

Unless it's important for you to see an original signature on a certificate in which case you would need to order from the local office and ask for a photocopy of the original cert.
