Certificates

Unfortunately due to extremely high service demand we are currently CLOSED for Applications for certificates for historic / family history purposes, if you submit an application of this kind it will not be processed and you will be offered a refund.

 

On-line birth, death and marriage indexes are still available on the internet at the following address
 
 
Libraries in Stoke on Trent also have free access to Ancestry.co.uk where you can search the national index to certificates for England and Wales for the whole of the period 1837-2005.
