Family History Beginners Board / Re: Help please tracing London Street 1841 - Harlington Street Waterloo Second

You're obviously looking at a similar 1841 census return as I, for Ann's Place and Harlington Street.
Mine is for the Strong family. Interestingly the one I'm looking at was baptised in St. Mary's Lambeth. Now a museum and nice cafe but the church I used to go to from our School in Archbishop's Park.
This area also had Lower Marsh.

So, I had received the World Pay email but not the GRO email with link to the DC. I went to GRO.Gov site and there was an option to My Recent Orders and when I put in the order date in a range box. My order came up it was there saying dispatched the same day. In that box I am able to go a highlighted digital image part message and when I click on it the image comes up. So, I have my record, but not as I've had it before from an email link.

I got the Worldpay email but not the normal GRO.Gov email with the link to the certificate. I thought it might be because of the bank holiday.

As I say, I prefer the hard copy for direct line family but digital for information or if I'm not sure as it's because of price. Also, I've found the hard copy sometimes is clearer to read, dependant upon the penmanship of the registrar.
Someone also mentioned the digital being automated. However, I ordered one yesterday and it still hasn't come through. Maybe the system is turned off weekends and bank holidays and it'll arrive on Tuesday.

Sorry, yes the information is the same on the digital image. But, as someone mentioned there may be "unofficial notes" on a hard copy. I also prefer the original official hard copies for my direct line ancestors than what I can print from a digital or pdf image.
Always good to hear others' views.

Thanks everyone for your help.
What you sometimes get from marriage records are the fathers' names, whether they are deceased and their profession. I guess it's the records post around 1830 that have that information.
I'm sure you all use this "side" information to confirm if it's the right couple getting married and also to confirm facts about the others on the marriage record. If the subjects sign with a mark that also sometimes confirms facts, eg. if previously they've signed something.
thanks all again,
Mildred

I've just ordered a digital image and the option comes up when you chose whether you'd like a pdf, hard copy or digital image.
The full certificates do give you an insight into life in earlier times, the informant, place and illness. Very interesting and often very sad. I try to write a biography of all my direct line ancestors in a bid to understand and record their lives.
