Wow Wonderful.....so how would i from here access these records????????/

[Christine in Herts]

For the last page or so, I've taken to putting the site-link for the relevant Local BMD site in the post of the update info. That means you should be able to jump straight from the post to the site.

In general terms, you can always go via UKBMD - Births, Marriages, Deaths Indexes & Census transcriptions for the UK, On-Line. There's a menu of icons on the left hand side of the homepage. Near the top is the Local button which leads to the list of Local BMD sites. The sites are in two stages of alpha-order... i.e. there's a set which all use the same software, and they're listed first, then the alphabet starts again for all the rest of the sites.

If you mean "how to access the actual certificates", then that's a process comparable with getting them from GRO. The sites generally have some system for generating pre-populated application forms. Sometimes you can buy online. Weirdly some of the online systems are more expensive than post/phone, so you need to check that - but there's generally a clear list of fees. You do have to use their reference numbers because the GRO refs are meaningless to the local offices.

Occasionally the local offices have records that didn't make the quarterly transcription process as far as GRO. Most (though not many of the London offices) have a reputation for being very helpful.

Sometimes the local Marriage index info is enough for you to be able to trace a parish register record and get a copy of that from a local library or Record Office. That would be the source document for any cert, so it can be more rewarding (original signatures of participants, no intervening transcriptions) and - unless you're unlucky - much cheaper than a cert.
