I dont think thats good enough , its bad enough waiting weeks for them but to add another week is an insult.The only good thing is they are the right ones YYYEEEEAAAHHHH

Mine were due to be despatched 29 June. I received 2 of them on Monday, I wonder if my other 2 will come today? Our postie doesnt come til about lunch time. Margaret

Ordered 3 due to be sent 28 June. Got one on 4 July. Holding my breath - our post arrives at any time nowadays, often late in the afternoon. nell

The good thing is I get up earlier than normal in anticipation. The bad thing is my Postman now knows I dont always look good.

Mine had a despatch date of 28 June. It finally arrived this morning. Jill

I suggest we all e-mail the GRO and TELL them to sort their postal arrangements out. There's no point in them turning round orders in 4 days if it takes another 10 in the post.

agh Gillian thats terrible at least my postman and even if its a relief dont do that, but then I have a special extra wide and long Certs Post Box.

just put a thread about this on the General board - but no-one seem sinterested if GRO have TNT on a trial then it's worthwhile everyone emailing them to say when their certs were due for despatch and when they actually recieved them so that GRO can see exactly how rubbish TNT are. Zoe

you are right Suzie someone on the general boards has done that and GRO said they had been on to TNT and it was their fault.

Yippee Finally got the other two today!

double yippee, worth waiting for: one was death of gt x 2 grandma. Informant was daughter, gives her married name - as she was called Susan Moore and there are tons of Susan Moore marriages, I now have chance of finding her, esp. as it gives her exact address!!!

I take it from the Yipee they are the right ones ??? good pleased for you I was thrilled with mine I keep getting the wrong one its that John Thomas Knight you were all helping me find the birth of

Definitely the right one. The lady died at the same address as she is on previous census, in Cambridge. Her daughter - just found her on 1881 census, one of her sons was born Holloway, London. I'm fascinated by this. Dead lady had several daughters, all born Cambridge, one of them is my gt grandmother Emma, who married in Holloway. On one census her sister Eliza was staying with her. Another sister, Elizabeth, married in Cambridge but lived a few streets away from Emma in Holloway. Now I've found Susan had a son in the same area! nell

AND Susan's husband, Elizabeth's husband and Emma's 2nd husband all worked for the railways!

luckie you - still waiting about to make a third phone call gro need to know what a crap service tnt are giving us

isnt it lovely when it all comes together I am so pleased because this is the one who married a Goozee remember ?? and she has rellies on here who I have contacted today

Yes at last it has arrived but very creased!! My certificate was printed on the 27 June! Loren.

Yes, mine arrived today 7th July. They are dated 28th June The ones I received on Monday 3rd July are also dated 28th June. I think I will email them to complain about the time they are in the post. Margaret

Valerie How could I forget your Goozees!!! Just had a brill time matching up the census entries for Susan and her husband (though they are awol in 1861/71 and I can't find their marriage yet) together with their children's baptisms on familyhistoryonline. Haven't even looked at the 2nd cert that came today yet! nell

I can't stand it !!! Think I'll stay off the board until mine arrive. Jean
