I ordered mine of the 24th March. Just checked email and despatch date 31 March. I think it is due to the holiday and the vast amount of certs being ordered before the increase. I ordered another lot on the 5th April despatch date 12th so they may be here in mid April or later knowing my luck.

Well 3 of the 4 have just arrived, I ordered on the 24th!  :D :D :D


not sure if I have the right marriage cert though, or someone has been "impersonating" the wife in later censuses.

Its like waiting for exam results. I keep waking up thinking "Are they here" or when I am at work I get home thinking "Have they arrived today?" That is how addictive genealogy is.

I ordered 4 on 29 March, no sign of them yet.  Ones I ordered on 17 March arrived about a week ago.

To add insult to injury I think one of the ones I ordered is probably the wrong person :o

today i ordered a priority cert for the slightly increased price of just over £23. It is estimated to be dispatched tomorrow. I ordered a priority two weeks ago when I ordered the 3 I am still waiting for and it arrived 2 days later.

Snap. Hopefully later this month when the GRO have sent out all the 7 Pounders we won't have to wait so long.
