Here's where you order. You have to register but it's free to do so

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

You must tick the ref box, as below, it's on the second page


For all events
Is the GRO Index Reference Number known? <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< YES
(What is a GRO index reference, and where can I find it?)
(If I don’t have the index reference what will happen?)

Of course you can get a copy cert

order it from the GRO

But you don't need it, because we've given you the info

Who told you it couldn't be obtained? Someone who didn't have a clue, obviously
