More luck with my first Scottish family in the English BMD records digital certificate buy. Thought for £2.50 I'd take a peek at the 1841 or so birth certificate of my ggg-uncle Simon Scott, born just over the border in Mindrum. Just a couple of days after census day. And yes the family were there in the census too. They moved back to Scotland later. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #England #Northumberland #BMD #GRO #EnglishGRO #BirthCertificates

First go trying the new English GRO digital images system for birth and death certificates. Not a great result! Cropping + a tilted copy means I've been given a very incomplete copy of my granddad's birth certificate. Then a very laborious process contacting customer services. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #England #Yorkshire #Leeds #BMD #Digitization #Digitisation #DigitalImages #GRO #EnglishGRO #BirthCertificates
