  • copies of GRO certificates

    From cecilia@21:1/5 to All on Fri Oct 1 00:28:14 2021
    I have a vague feeling that I read somewhere that if the photocopy of
    a GRO entry was difficult to read, one could ask for a transcribed
    copy - the actual entry might be easier to read forr the GRO employee
    than the photocopy for the person who requested a copy.

    I have seen one where a parent's occupation also included the actual
    place of work - but I could not read the address.
