If that Register Office carries out such a policy then it is acting illegally and should be reported. The law (1949 Marriage Act) states - "63.-(I) Every incumbent, registering officer of the Society of Friends, secretary of a synagogue and registrar by whom a marriage register book is kept shall at all reasonable hours allow searches to be made in any marriage register book in his keeping, and shall give a copy certified under his hand of any entry in such a book, on payment of the following fee, that is to say- (a) for every search covering a period of not more than one year, the sum of one shilling, and for every search covering a period of more than one year, the sum of one shilling for the first year together with an additional sixpence for every additional year; and (b) for every certified copy, the sum of two shillings and sixpence. (2) The last foregoing subsection shall apply in the case of a registered building for which an authorised person has been appointed with the substitution for the reference to the incumbent of a reference to the person having the custody of a marriage register book in accordance with regulations made under section seventy-four of this Act." The above has been ammended with regard to the fees.

For what it's worth I'd like to add my two pen'orth to the discussion re. the above. A couple of days ago I received information from a Register Office (not in Yorks) as follows: "Due to an ever increasing demand from Family History Researchers, Local Register Offices have now been instructed only to provide certificates from entries that can be 'identified'. For a marriage entry this means the exact location (church)as well as the date (day/month/year) that the marriage took place." I'm not sure if this is a countrywide direction, but I do know that friend carrying out research in yet another county has received similar information. Of course we have such as www.middlesbrough-indexes.co.uk, which would suggest that some areas at least, are willing and able. Hope this is of use to someone. Jo

My local registry office at Doncaster is prepared to do one search of 5 years either side of a proposed date for a marriage however if that turns up nothing they will not carry another out for that particular person/marriage. On another list I subscribe to its been noted that according to law the registry offices at reasonable times are supposed to allow you to search the registers however this isnt being done. Again at Doncaster they will let ya search the register index for a fee. That I know doesnt help our overseas researchers. Personally I dont see how legally the superintendant registrar can actually do what you have suggested rob ========Original Message======== Subj: [N'Yorks] Purchasing Certificates Date: 21/06/2003 08:25:42 GMT Daylight Time From: <A HREF="mailto:jesson@hallwalk.karoo.co.uk">jesson@hallwalk.karoo.co.uk</A> Reply-to: <A HREF="mailto:ENG-NORTH-YORKS-L@rootsweb.com">ENG-NORTH-YORKS-L@rootsweb.com</A> To: <A HREF="mailto:ENG-NORTH-YORKS-L@rootsweb.com">ENG-NORTH-YORKS-L@rootsweb.com</A> Sent from the Internet (Details) For what it's worth I'd like to add my two pen'orth to the discussion re. the above.

I may be wrong but I don't think there were Official Adoptions back in 1877. I think at that time it was still the case where a person who was willing to take the child and bring it up as their own just did so. I am not sure though when official adoptions came into being. As to ordering birth certificates when you are unsure if you have the right person from the GRO index, you can ask the local registrars office if they will check the entry for you against other details that you know to be correct for the birth etc., that you are looking for. If you had found an entry in the GRO index for say Fred Bloggs and thought it might be the one you are looking for, you will know from that entry which quarter of the year that person had been born and which area the birth had been registered in. If you also knew that his father was John Bloggs and mother was Ann Bloggs neé Smith or had some other piece of inforamtion such as an address or something, you could ask the local registrars office to check the entry that you have found to see if the other information you have matches that given on that particular entry in their registers. They will not give you any information from the entry but they will say Yes or No to whether the entry you are interested in matches your information, that is all. You would have to send the £7.00 fee by cheque, some local offices do take credit cards and some now have e.mail so you can ask about payment methods. If they are successful in finding the right entry then they will keep the fee and send you a copy of the entry. If however, the entry does not match up they may keep part of the fee as a search fee, about half I believe, and return the rest of the monry to you. I have done this a few times and have not yet been charged for the search on failed enquiries, I think it depends on each individual office whether or not they charge but can't be sure. The Genuki website will give you the addresses etc. of all the local registrars offices for the UK so if you go to the relevant Page for your place of interest and click on Civil Registration you will find the address and phone number and the occassional e.mail address to. Go to www.genuki.org.uk I feel this searching system of the local registers is far better than thrashing about ordering 2 or 3 copies of what might or might not be the correct entries. You may have to pay but not the full £7.00 and a copy of the entry is cheaper from the local office than from the FRC as Myddleton St. or from the GRO at Southport. You can look at the GRO website which explains about ordering copies from them and about their search service which is more expensive. http://www.statistics.gov.uk/registration/default.asp You could also look at the Family Records Centre Website too at http://www.familyrecords.gov.uk/default.htm Hope this is of some help Regards Jenny DeAngelis.

Hello Jenny, When we visited the Family Records Center at Islington, there was a whole area on the second floor which had a large sign over it which said " Adoptions". A I was not looking for anyone who would be in that section, we didn,t go there, but it may be possible to E mail them and ask when Adoptions became legal by law. Regarding the forms for certificates, when you are applying at the offices yourself, there is a section on the reverse side which you can fill in with the particulars of the person whose certificate you are seeking. So that if you are seeking Mary BROWN whose parents were John BROWN and Elizabeth BROWN [nee. SMITH] and the listing in the book does not give the Father's name, but the birth dates are the same, you can apply for more than one certificate, and as long as you have filled the reverse side and signed it, they will search for the certificate with the correct Father's name, and not charge you for the others, at least that is how they did when we went. However we were told that if we submitted more than one search for Mary Brown, but did not fill in and sign the reverse sign we could be charge for each search. Regards, Pam, in Arizona.

Well Pam, Considering I was there only a few weeks ago, I would email and ask first before presuming that they still do look ups. As I read the literature inside the building, I am pretty sure they have stopped taking orders to do lookups. However it is still up to you if you order many certificates hoping to get the right one. They do not however refund all the money for incorrect certificates. The Family Record Centre is an excellent place to visit, but they keep they public well informed with changes and have plenty of notices up.

Hi Johanna, When we were at the Records Center, a man at the desk told us if we were not sure if the one we were ordering was the correct one, we should fill in and sign the section on the reverse side of the application, which we did. Then we got in line to the ordering window, and paid for all three that we had filled in. Two weeks later we received our correct Certificate and a refund for the two incorrect ones. Believe this only works that way if you fill out and sign the section in the back of the form, as we were told to do. Am not looking to order now anyway, was just answering some-one who had asked a question. Have a researcher in London who does my work for me when I can't get there. Regards, Pam in Arizona.

I was there a few weeks ago and I don't think they do lookups anymore.

Hello, New subscriber here though I have been reading the lists for a couple of weeks. My names being looked into are: FREER Malton 1877 Later became Taylor. This was my great grandmother. When she had my grandmother Elsie Freer (b.1895) it was alleged that she was adopted by the Taylor family. Any idea how I can check if this was a legal adoption? Other names, also from Malton are Marshall, Bradley and Longster. Good hunting Judith Benson.

Hi Johanna, We were there last year and they were accepting applications for birth certs. In fact we put in, and paid for, 3 applications for one birth certificate,as we were not sure which one was the correct one, we filled it in on reverse side, and when the folks there figured out which one was correct for us, they refunded the money we paid for the other two, and forwarded it with the certificate within two weeks, to my daughter in Canada. Thought it was great service. The thing that people in the UK don't understand about odereing Certs. from out of the country, is that we have a VERY DIFFICULT TIME sending money to the UK. From here in Arizona , if I want to order a Certificate from the UK and need to send 8 Pounds by mail, the banks will charge me another $15 to make out an International Money Order. So my Certificate will then cost me more than double the price, and the only way around this is to send cash, which obviously is not a good idea. That is why I always steer people who are seeking to order from the UK, to The Family Records Center as you can pay by Credit card, they are the only Record Centers who take credit cards. It is so much easier. Regards, Pam, an Aldershot, Hants. gal, now in Arizona. My Names :- RENNEY - CHEESEBROUGH - SMITH - County Durham, also Middlesbrough and Bradford areas of N. Yorks.

Phone :- 020 - 7233 - 9233 "E" Mail :- Certificate.service@ons.gov.uk To order a certificate the cost is :- 8 Pounds, if you have all the required info. 11 Pounds, if they have to look it up. That includes postage, to you, and yes they do take cheques and credit cards. Regards, Pam in Arizona.

Hello all, I am looking for information and descendants of John QUIRK, born Leeds abt 1860 and Selina Hannah MEYNELL, born Thornton le Beans 1865. Although still unconfirmed, I believe they married in Thirsk in 1896. On the 1901 census they are listed as living in Melmerby with their 3 year old son Harold. John's occupation is given as Railways Signalman. If this family is known to anyone on the list, please contact me. I'm seeking information post 1901 census. Many thanks Ailsa Petrie -- Hamilton New Zealand

Hi Janice, What a great way to start my day - waking up to find this email and all the information that you've sent me. Sounds like we have a link there. William and Elizabeth's daughter ANN DOWSON is my Gt, Gt, Gt, Grand-mother. Robert and Ann Jackson (nee Dowson) had a son FRANCIS DOWSON JACKSON, so it ties in. Their 1st born William was born in 1820 in Kirkbymoorside and then I can find no Baptism or any mention of them till 1828 when 3 more children were born. So maybe they went back to Barugh or Kirby Misperton to have other children. I will have to get the Parish records out and go through them. Thank you so much for your reply.

Hello Kathryn, I was researching Foxton of Kirby Misperton for someone else - although my husband does have Foxton in his line, they are from Hovingham and I have not made any connection with the family in K.Misperton or Scarbro. The Dowsons were - and still are widely spread in the area. My husband's ancestor was Mary Dowson, born 1793. The person I was looking for at K.Misperton/Scarbro was an Edith Foxton - if I remember right, she was born about 1880.
