Thanks so much everyone, for explaining what I need to do. I did not put GQ in the subject line but will copy them again. I will also add the information from the certificate that I have received to the Free BMD list. Every little bit helps!!!

I was sent a record for someone of the same name born in 1841. Will the GRO correct this? I emailed them immediately It's possible that the error is that the year 1841 has been entered on he cert by mistake rather than the wrong cert being sent. Either way, t's wrong, so they should replace the cert. However, to get a response from them you *must* include GQ in the ubject: header of the email you send them, otherwise no email is ent to you, even though action is taken. It could be a while since ou're overseas and they've had a Christmas break, and will be a bit ehind. > but have had no answer. Am I going to have to place an international call?
