I know this might sound like I'm thick but how do you get the copies of full birth, death, marriage certs and also census info in full , ie where they lived at the time?
Thanks in anticipation for your help

Registry office for the certs, census info from Internet sites like this and reference libraries

BMD certs are ordered from the GRO, if you can't get them from the local register office, or if you don't know which it is.

For full census images, membership (paid) of Ancestry.co.uk is where I found mine. I'm a lapsed member now, as it's expensive, but that's the best place for me so far.

I wouldn't advise buying credits for this site, they are too limited, at least membership of sites like Ancestry give you unlimited access once paid (I think they still do anyway)
