If this cert is not as big as you would like let me know.This Certificate is relitive to the Welsh region. I believe that English and Welsh Certificates house the same information. Scotland is different.

This link may also help you determine what is on a certificate:

Many thanks for your replies.

I cannot believe that until after 1969 that they included those details.

Thanks
