In early May, I was after a copy of an 1854 parish register page from Maker, in Cornwall, to add to the documentary back-up for the tree of an elderly lady - a church friend of mine. I sent an email enquiry, to which they replied that I should fill in their application form and post it back - which I duly did.
This was the reply:
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide you with a digital image or photocopy of the marriage between Robert Hawton and Mary Jane Bryant in 1854. The Registrar General at the General Register Office (GRO) in Southport has ruled that prices of copies of post 1837 marriages should correspond with prices charged by the registration service. We can therefore only provide a certified copy (copied and signed by an archivist onto a certificate) at a charge of £7.00.
