I've been looking at this for some time and it seems that updates would be better served by being put into a database such as OPC Lancashire does, whereby the parents of births/baptisms and the marriage details are given in full. The updates to Cheshire BMD don't really tell you all that much, so that you have to search further and not always to fulfillment apart from paying up with your credit card, but OPC give you all the details you need without having to fork out payment heavy sums for a certificate. Please tell me why Cheshire BMD continue this limited service, which is useful, but not economic? Isn't it time for Cheshire to set up an OPC if that is at all possible?
