Unfortunately I have difficulty obtaining things online as I don't own Credit / Debit cards. Hence the need of help if possible from others for searching as I also have difficulty paying to use search sites like ancestory.co.uk.  :)

I am getting reading to go for a round trip to pick up certain certificates and I am trying to find out as much as I can before I go which in turn will save on some future journeys.   :)

unfortunately you have to order certificates -you can visit the appropriate reg office and pay for and order a certificate, but you will still have to wait for it arriving by post - they don't just issue them over the counter.

You can apply by post - postal ordes are a good way to do it

Worthing register office
Centenary house
Durrington lane
Worthing
W Sussex
BN13 2QB

you can even download a form to apply by post

just google Worthing register office - you will get their site

I actually prefer to send for my certificates from the appropriate registry office.

It's not like you see on such programmes as heir hunters - they can walk straight in and get their certificates -but the general public have to wait!

You could always ring them before you order -I often do this and most of the staff are very helpful
