Hi Bob,
If you're intending to buy a copy of a certificate it's best to take a note of the Volume and Page numbers, then go to the certificate ordering webpage at
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp
This is quite clear as to how to enter the information and certificates presently cost £7.
Don't order them direct from Ancestry.com for instance as the cost will be more like £20.
Good luck!
Regards,
Ron
