That site will only be any good if someone has submitted the information from a certificate you are after.

 GRO v Local

 Boo wrote "..... GRO photocopy the original entry onto the certificate.... "

 There is only one original entry and that never leaves it's home Register Office.

 As we know, all England/Wales  ROs forwarded copies of BMD events quarterly to GRO. GRO then copied the info into it's own volumes, with it's own filing references.

A "copy" certificate from GRO looks "appropriate" copied onto the format of the original register. But it still just a copy of a copy.

GRO never even got to see the original entry in the orginal register.

Many local ROs do indeed today just copy by typewriting or handwriting the details from the register onto a formatted copy cert.

Hi Michael - hope you are well :-)
Yes, sorry, you are correct of course but many  register offices don't  have the facility to copy onto certs and I kinda like the certificate to at least 'look' contemporary. The recently produced ones look so 'bare' when they are typed out to order. I know that the information is correct and gives me the clues to take things further, but I like nice looking too. :-)

I have today sent for a cert from Bishop auckland, it was a Easington birth.
I phoned Easington then had to phone Bishop as most records for Durham area are there. So i will see when it comes if it is typed or scanned
I will let you know
