Do you get all certificates?

[Billyblue]

UK certificates are very cheap, compared to some other places.

For instance, I recently paid $35 to get a marriage certificate from Queensland - twice your price!

I suppose money is all relative - UK Certs seem very dear when you're used to paying 4euro for Irish ones!
I'm quite spendthrift in the GRO in Dublin, but agonise over the UK ones. (got 2 as Christmas presents last year)

I'm just thankful that none of my direct lines are one of the more common names like Smith or Brown etc., must be a nightmare for anyone following one of these lines as proof will be needed at every life event 

I do have one line which hits WOOD then SMITH but as this is in Durham there are quiet a few online resources to help out in this area.  This is the only line where I've made a mistake buying certs in error trying to find my ggrandmothers birth.
