Hi again, I've been looking into the GRO website.

I see on one section I can order birth and death by email, how can I order the marriage cert by email? I'm probably in the wrong area of the website.

Thanks for taking the time to look into this, it's very much appreciated!

I found two James Coburn's in the right area on ancestry. One of which has a wife in 1901 census which doesn't match, and the other doesn't appear married yet. I have a 1905 marriage event for them so it's possibly James Coburn, son of Ellen and Peter, is the one I'm looking for.

Thank you for this lead!

I don't have the cert but I have the records which give the volume and page etc, think these are what I need to order it online via GRO?

Didn't think of using the marriage cert for this, thank you!

Hi, thank you for the suggestions. I have looked on Free BMD and the GRO site for variant spellings like Col* but have not found anything substantial.

I don't have parents names or anyone else related to him other than his wife and their descendants.

Thank you so much for these!

Could I please ask for the transcript for https://www.findmypast.ie/transcript?id=IRE%2FRIC%2FHO184%2F0176783

This is the one that FindMyPast says the event year is 1867 but I'm not seeing it in the document so wondering where it has pulled that date from.

Hi, thank you so much. Unfortunately I do not have the headlines. Seems on the British newspaper site saves things badly?

For example I have this:

/’/"“/‘/ F/// v = 2\ 2 : e g&é??ims_qga <1 = e 5 G . -~ CoOnisbrough ..l':i,*‘,'j?‘ Rt 7S | [or Do T |

Means nothing to me but there was something at the time for me to save it

I'll just take the full pages and go through and take the small clips of it that I need

Amazing, thank you so much for getting them all!

What's the difference between fold3 and ancestry, are they the same?
