Hi Heather This really helps me. I would be very keen to collate any BMD registration information that would allow me, at some time in the future, to order certificates. I have these in the UK for as many of Mary Ann's brothers, sisters, cousins and parents as I can find. Would you have access to this kind of information? I'm completely unfamiliar with Canadian records. Over in the UK it's all online, and at least 50% of everything is indexed. My own marriage (second) in 1989 is online. Thanks for the prompt response.
