No I'm not complaining, I'm sure mine will arrive in the next couple of days. Maybe even tomorrow?

And the only reason I didn't get the second certificate I ordered within 3 days like the other one - I put in the wrong quarter and have had to re-order it.  My mistake, entirely...

Hi, just like to say i ordered 2 marraige certs online Tuesday the 19th April......dispatch date given was the 26th......they both arrived this morning (23rd).........to say im shocked is an understatement. So hopefully it'll stay like this and not take weeks for them to arrive.

Is 1837online the ONLY online place to see the COMPLETE bmd indexes? I love freebmd, but I've temporarily exhausted their indexes (I'm looking for rare ENDSORs in Chorlton on Medlock, 1837 to about 1880). I'm afraid that my impatience for more data will lead me to spend a fortune trawling quarter by quarter on 1837online, trying to fill in the gaps.

Is there an alternative?

Should I just be patient and wait for freebmd to add more data?

Should I just suck it up and pay 1837online?

The GRO seem to be back to normal after the telly cert ordering bonanza.  3 certs ordered (2 online, 1 phone) all arrived within 5 working days. Not bad ...

IGS - guess it's up to your patience level  ;D  but 1837 is very reasonable methinks.  I live in London and it would cost me a fiver in tube fares to get there.  With that fiver you get about 55 BDM views, so well worth it in my books.   Good luck.
