This page will contain a growing list of (and hopefully links to)  Birth, Marriage and Death certificates in my possession. 

Also any interesting photo's etc.  Please check back again - changing all the time......

I'd appreciate a mention if you copy any info and publish to the web or wherever.

 

-  Please Note  -

I say "hopefully links to" above, because I'm as yet unsure of the position on certificate copyright.  The link below gives fuller details, so it doesn't look hopeful - in which case this will be just 'a searchable list' with transcribed details....  Contact me  if you want more details of a particular event, I could be breaking the law if I make copies freely available.  Is this what they mean by " Freedom of Information " ?  

Seems HM Gov is worried that (quote) "Copying of certificates is strictly controlled because of the potential for photocopy documents to assist in the perpetration of fraud"  (end quote)    Hmmm, I suppose the birth certificate of my gt-gt-grandfather, born in 1862, could be misused in an application for a 'dodgy' passport !!   I'll refrain from further comment before I get into trouble.....
