The [https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ General Register Office] (GRO), where the original certificates are kept, also has indexes for births and deaths. These indexes provide more information than any other index; the information listed includes the mother’s maiden name on birth certificates and the age at death on death certificates. This information can be very valuable in identifying the correct certificate. The website requires a login, but it is free to register and search. Copies of the original certificates can also be ordered from this website for a fee. | The [https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ General Register Office] (GRO), where the original certificates are kept, also has indexes for births and deaths.

The [https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ General Register Office] holds a central copy of all birth, marriage, and death registrations in England. These certificates can be ordered from their [https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ website] (a login is required but it is free to register and search). To order, the person’s name and surname; the registration year, quarter, and district name; and the volume and page number must be known. To find these, use the civil registration indexes (discussed above). Because the district registrars sent copies of their certificates to the GRO, the certificate received in the mail or by pdf is a photocopy of the copy, not the original. Although accuracy is very high, there were occasional errors made while copying certificates. | The [https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ General Register Office] holds a central copy of all birth, marriage, and death registrations in England.
