On the subject of registers.... I recently ordered a birth record for the year of 1839. I was sent a record for someone of the same name born in 1841. Will the GRO correct this? I emailed them immediately but have had no answer. Am I going to have to place an international call?

Could someone possibly point me in the right direction as to which registry ffice to use to apply for a death certificate please? If I use the GRO I hink I will have to buy all 3 - or at least one at a time! y ancestor was called Jane Ellen MOSS (but sometimes Jane Sarah Moss as her other was called Sarah Ellen). She was born in Whitechapel July 1846 and ived around that area as a Staymaker all her life. I don't think she ever arried and the last I can find of her is as a Boarder in Mile End Old Town n the 1901 census. >From the GRO Indexes I have found the following deaths but am not sure which egistry office to apply to to see if I have the correct one: 1. Apr-Jun 1902 Jane Ellen Moss Age 58 West Ham, Essex Vol 4a Pg 133 (seems he most likely but Essex puts me off) . Jan-Mar 1911 Jane Moss Age 66 Barnett Vol 3a Pg 216 . Jane Moss Jan-Mar 1913 Age 69 London City Vol 1c pg 1 Perhaps I should add that her sister Louisa, who Jane lived with (also a pinster Staymaker) died in 1886 in Middlesex Lunatic Asylum in Banstead now Surrey) of TB so was moved out of the area.

I emailed them immediately It's possible that the error is that the year 1841 has been entered on the cert by mistake rather than the wrong cert being sent. Either way, it's wrong, so they should replace the cert. However, to get a response from them you *must* include GQ in the Subject: header of the email you send them, otherwise no email is sent to you, even though action is taken. It could be a while since you're overseas and they've had a Christmas break, and will be a bit behind. > but have had no answer. Am I going to have to place an international > call?
