As I am the main family historian in the family I sometimes get people asking me if I can view recent death certs online, or for a birth in London in 1756 they say "
You can get the birth certificate, it will give their parents names, mothers maiden name and occupations". If only civil reg had began that far back. The best will be a possible baptism which rarely gave mmn. Or they say the same about a 1750 marriage thinking there will be a cert with all their fathers names etc, when they are 87 years previous to that.
The occasional license may give the father of the bride or groom though.
WDYTYA celebs are probably new to this FH and many may not follow it up once their episode has aired.
