"http://www.gov-certificates.co.uk/" - I have received a complaint about this site (Feb 2008) ... so check out the following-
http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/archive/index.php/t-88568.html - if you want to pay £23 rather than £7 for a certificate you can please yourself... but this is Cardiganshire, You can order via FREE BMD or direct from the OFFICIAL GRO site above.

SEARCH SITE: Ancestry.co.uk - UK records and research [not free] but there is also:-
SEARCH SITE: Ancestry.com – huge US site, lots of info, useful for those with US links – not Free !
The UK site has the UK census records from 1861 to 1901. As far as I can ascertain this site uses the BMD records from freeBMD, and therefore not all records may be there. |
http://www.ancestry.com |
| SEARCH SITE: FINDMYPAST.COM (used to be called 1837online) - lots of info, with complete BMDs from 1837 to 2003 (NB some overseas records may not be found as registration was not necessarily compulsory overseas) |
www.findmypast.com/ |
| ROOTSWEB - useful for finding mailing lists. People are friendly and helpful. |
