new price for GRO certs

[Sloe Gin]

It sounds to me like we are not going to be able to view certs online for some years yet, even when the project to digitalise everything is complete the gro can not by law allow us to view these certs online - so i do wonder what the whole point is when everybody is quite capable of searching the way things are - sounds like money down the pan 

I think the idea is to update the indexes by adding name of spouse to pre-1911 marriage registrations, mother's maiden name to pre-1911 BRs, and ages to pre-1868 DRs.  So that the indexes themselves will offer fuller information. 

I doubt the certificates themselves were ever intended to be publicly displayed online, but it opens the possibility of emailing customers an image for a fee, which would obviously save a great deal in production and postage costs.

It sounds as though it's mainly only the marriages that are left to be done, and many of these can already be found in parish registers at record offices.

As Les says, I certainly did not intend to cause offence to anyone with my comment re common sense.

I agree, we are all entitled to our opinions. I must apologise, however, if my opinion that Les was talking common sense has upset you Rah, that wasn't my intention.

It's so easy for things that are said via a screen to be misinterpreted, taken the wrong way, or completely misread - I have been guilty of that very recently. So It may be an idea if we all take a deep breath and count to ten before pressing the 'post' button.

After all, we're all in this hobby together. And that's all it is - a hobby. Not life and death.

The only chance of getting the law changed will come when a competent government sits in Westminster.
