In my case I was lucky enough to get someone in Somerset, ENG., to order it as well, then she e-mailed it to me. Just thinking of other people who don't have any overseas contacts, would be nice for them to have sks to help them out.

I do find the GRO are quicker and cheaper than local registry offices. pauline alden 13 swann street York YO23 1AF -----Original Message----- Hi Folks Just a thought and to save the finger nails Do you have anyone in the UK that you could get any future certificates sent to, who could then scan or photograph and send to you by email, at the end of the day the information is the prime thing, the certificate is nice for record but otherwise adds nothing (the person in the UK could always send it on after scan and emailing the contents) There are services that do that already but charge a large premium for doing so (Ancestry for example who charge over double for the same certificate) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)
