Avoid overpaying on family history documents

Options
With so many people researching their ancestors, beware how you order copies of old birth, marriage and death certificates. Place an order through Ancestry.co.uk, and they're £19.99 a time. Go to bmd-certificates.co.uk, and they're £25 each. But if you go direct to the General Register Office website the charge is only £7. Moreover, you'll receive them more quickly: the GRO quote despatch on the 4th working day, as opposed to up to 15 or 16 days with Ancestry or Bmd. Worth bearing in mind!
