  • Pleasingly prompt service by ONS/GRO...

    I had decided it was time for some more certs to add a bit of rigour to my records, and sent off last week for five. The predicted despatch date was 15 Feb 2008 - but three arrived today! :D

    Mainly they have served to tidy up some loose ends - confirm what I had deduced already. However, the death cert for my Gx3-g-father shows that the Coroner's Court found that he was
    Accidentally kill'd by falling from a Cart.
    on 10 April 1838 in South Newington, Oxfordshire.

    From reading other threads, I gather there's little chance of any Coroner's Court reports being in any archives anywhere, but that I might find a newspaper report if I hunt in the right places? Looks like I'd better get in touch with the Oxfordshire FHS again!

    A fortnight ago I ordeed 4 certificates online on Sunday evening with a despatch date of the following Friday. They all arrived on Thursday morning. I was amazed and delighted as it is a long time since I last ordered from GRO and it used to take weeks.

      I think it rather depends on there not being any current broadcasting of WDYTYA!

        Yes, I got a cert today that was due to be sent next Monday. So hopefully the others I ordered will come tomorrow/Saturday.

          But if they come tomorrow, you won't be able to go to Coventry? ;)
