How do I get hold of my certificate of Baptism?

[bungalowbelle]

My mum says she was never given it and I need it.

I have lost my marriage certificate. How do I get hold of a copy of that?

You can get a copy from the parish register of the parish you were baptised/married in.
Contact the priest/vicar.

Thanks.

Thank you

Best to get it sorted sooner rather than later if you are likely to need it soon. When I contacted the church I'd been baptised in, the records had been archived, and I had to apply to the diocesan central archives to get it.

Contact the County record office for the county that you were baptised - the parish register should have been handed inrto the office when the register is full - obviusly this will depend on how busy the church has been since and how old you are

The cost of a baptism certificate is £12 - it is a standard price across the counrty.

The above is for Church of England baptisms - a not non conformist e.g Catholic Methodist etc

A marriage certificate - there are several place to apply

General Register Office - apply and you can do that online or telephone the price is £8.50 if you phone them with the GRO reference number it is more expensive if you do not have the reference - about £11 www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/order_certificates/obtain_certificates/how--to--apply--and--pay.asp

The local register office that covers the civil registration district where you got married - they will charge you £7

Or the church/county record office wherever the marriage register now is and you can get a copy.

This is if you married in england or wales - abroad will be different for getting another copy.

Excellent and thourough post IK.
