The trick isn't to google the name of the register office, the most "likely" match that google will show first is always the ukbmd site which is the one mentioned in the first post. |

Just an update. My local register office did phone me back yesterday. They had found the certificates that I wanted and would put them in the post last night. Should get them tomorrow. Thank you to Pontefract Register Office! |

I tried Portsmouth Register Office and clicked on the link thinking it would take me straight to the register office but it came up with www.bnd.certificates which were going to charge £25 for each cert and I needed 2 certs. |

I have tried that site Frances, was lucky to find my great x 4 grandparents on there. Very useful site. |

Just ordered them by phone and they will check them and ring me back. They are from my local office, but I find it easier to order online or by phone. Can't believe these people (BMD-certificates) are ripping people off. |

Weve had a few instances on here where people were charged up to £50 for a cert. Dreadful. |

I've just been looking on the internet to order some certificates from my local register office. Typing the name into google brought up a link to order them online, which I thought was brilliant, until I realised it was through a firm charging £25! |
