If you know which church a marriage took place in you can sometimes get a copy of the parish register which will give you the same information as a marriage certificate, but you can't do this for birth certificates. |

Are you sure about that, Joyce? I didn't think there was any way of accessing a certificate other than buying it, and certainly not from a library. |

You make it sound as if you're paying more because you're in NZ. If certificates are ordered from GRO it should be tha same as what they pay in England. I'm in Canada and only pay 7 pounds. As for Ancestry. UK, it's cheaper because we don't have to pay VAT. |

I started out buying every certificate until I had two births which were not registered.I still managed to research back by using the census. |

Hi, I'm new to this and am finding the costs involved quite a bit, especially living in NZ and ordering from the UK. |
