could anyone advise me , i have reference numbers i want to send for photocopys to dublin they cost £ 1.90 euros ( around £1.50) i do not have a credit card , they wont accept euro cash, i have been told the only way possible is a bankers draft which costs £7 dearer than the cost of the certs . is there anyother way i can do this or will i have to pay the bank £7 every time i have to send for certificates to the gro , hoping this makesw sense to whoever reads this , regards jackie.

Hello Jackie, Sorry that I cant help with your payment problem. I had the same trouble with e bay payments. I do have a rellie born in Dublin of English parents visiting. I assume that he was registered in Dublin. Can you tell me where I would trace his details? I would be very grateful for any advice. Thanks Helena

When I wanted a cert from Ireland, I came across the same problem and not wanting to swell the banks coffers, took a chance and sent notes. I told them to put the change in the local poor box! They could not provide and sent them back again!!! Hope this helps, Jim Jones
