I managed to build a good biography on my 3xgreat grandfather William Snell now as the ones I ordered on 24th March arrived Saturday. William married on the 17th August 1845, 25th February 1866 and died 22 February 1900 aged 79 in Oxfordshire.

A reminder, please see reply #109

Whilst it is interesting to here about certificate details, that is not the topic on discussion here.

Please keep to 'How long are GRO certs taking?'

New topics on other matters should be started either in the Common Room or 'the lighter side'

I'm looking at it this way.

I wouldn't have ordered these certificates yet if it hadn't been for the price increase (I have a budget to try & stick to :-X) So really I'm getting them early, not late.

If there's a 'philosophical' smiley I can't find it.  :)

I have not ordered any more certs since the increase. I thought that the mad rush would now have died down since the increase?
