Hi JoLynn
It depends on who you get. :) I recently had this same dilemma with a birth
certificate. I gave all the details including that there was only a mother
Eliza (she was single) and no father as there were 2 in the same district
with the same name in the same quarter. Because of that I didn't give Vol
and page number, expecting them to search and see the one without a father
but no. :( They sent one that had two parents. I was OK with that and was
happy to order the other one but I didn't know which Vol and Page no. the
one they sent was to enable me to order the other one. So I wrote and asked.
They apologised and said they had sent the wrong certificate and would send
me the correct one asap and would I return the incorrect one when it
arrived. It finally arrived and was for someone born in Northumberland and I
was asking for Suffolk and the mother's name was not even Eliza! Contacted
them again and they apologised again and sent out the correct one.
So some of their staff search well and others ....well .... :)

Subject: [GLA] Sending for GRO certificates
Dear List:
If I want to get a death certificate (or birth certificate) from the GRO
about someone but I have two possibilities of dates and, therefore, people,
will I get both certificates sent to me if I can give parents' names,
possible birth places, etc.? Or will they try to go with the one that
matches best?
