I went onto the new Ancestry website after I saw your message and found the details of Thomas Herbert Worsnop. He seems to have operated out of Sunderland. It's a pity Ancestry don't seem to have digitised the details on the back of the certificate, in the same way that there are apparently lots of WW1 medal cards with other details on the reverse side that don't seem to have been copied either. -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Famous family trees blog: http://blog.findmypast.co.uk/tag/roy-stockdill/ "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

I think you will find that the back of the certificate has been digitised. As Nivard said in his original post, and for which I thanked him, you need to go back and forwards from the image that appears to get the rest of the details. My guy had 4 sheets - the front and back of the certificate and the front and back of the application. Lin PLEASE REMOVE NAMES & email ADDRESSES BEFORE FORWARDING.
