I think that is what has annoyed me. Many of my ancestors are on MCA and that's fabulous.....the church in question is still in Kent but not within the Medway area.....arghhhh. |

If your family came from the Medway area of Kent then try Medway City Ark. |

Thank you everyone for your tips and advice. As you will see I am new to this hobby and didn't appreciate how much it cost!! I will try the Parish Records route as I do know where some of the weddings took place and for the rest i will have to bite the bullet and buy the certificates. |

Too true it isn't cheap......I am used to sending for and buying birth/marriage certs etc. but, last week, I sent for a copy of a baptism entry in a parish register in Kent and it has cost me £19 for a flimsy photocopy. Fortunately, two of us are bearing the cost but that came as a shock. |

Unfortunately John you haven't paid to "look" at the certificates. If you have a subscription to either Genes or Ancestry (or any of the other family history websites) you have only paid to see the birth, marriage or death index which gives you the information you need in order to purchase the certificate. |

Is it possible to see Birth and Marriage Certificates without actually requesting and paying for a copy? I dont want to have a copy I just want to be able to see it and note the information. I was going to go to the Records Office at Kew but I have looked on their website and I dont think you can see copies there either. |
