It's easy to do (must be cause I can manage it) Michael Thought it was £7.50,either way there can be no justification for charging double.If you do it for FH researchers then why not others that turn up on the day without ringing.How can you have one rule for one and one for another.PLUS with older certificates it is less of a risk viz identity theft,sp perhaps they should be deterring people who want duplicates/replacements turning up?Obviously im playing devils advocate here as that would be ridiculous to make people do that but why penalise one customer over another,when after all they want the same thing,a copy of an old certificate.As i said,people will use the GRO online,the registry office will suffer a drop in demand overall,and when it comes to council cutbacks theyll trim any fat they can,if a department has less demand then itl get the treatment.

reference BROADBELT, I googled it the other night and there are a few in the USa as well as here so it is a surname as already pointed out by chris albeit an unusual one so thanks to Chris's help on census stuff, might be useful looking at USA stuff to see if she crossed the pond?

thanks Steve, i have bought my Great Grandfather birth cert which Sarah Broadbelt/Bent is his mother so wil no when it arrives in post. as i thought there was no point in buying both Sarah Broadbelt and Broadbent Birth cert and end up having one with no relevance. thankyou again x

Looks like she is in the 1841 censushttp://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec/?htx=view&r=5538&dbid=8978&iid=WRYHO107_1344_1345-0150&fn=Sarah&ln=Broadbent&st=r&ssrc=&pid=12866901with mother Mary.There is a sister Elizabeth aged 13.Baptism to match at Holbeck:- 10 FEB 1828 daughter of David and Mary.Also in the house is a Samuel Broadbent,aged 20.A search of the IGI shows a Samuel baptised Leeds Parish Church16/04/1820,son of David ANDSusannah!!!So Looks like David was married before,indeed there is a burial at Wortley St John of a Susannah Broadbent,aged 30,of Wortley,06/05/1823.this may or may not be the case,but is certainly fits wellThe Mary,mother of Darah,would appear to be a Mary Rollison,who married David Broadbent at Leeds Parish Church (LPC)29/08/1824.Back to the 1841 census and in that household is a James Rollinson,aged 20.A check of the IGI reveals anumber of James Rollinsons around that time,but one in particular,baptised at Holbeck 15/09/1819,son of MARY!!So looks like Mary,who married David,is a Rollinson,not Rollison,and had a son James out of wedlock in 1819.I have also come across another baptism for David and SUSANNAH.again at LPCWilliam 15/09/1822
