I am very interested in the Births, Deaths and Marriages exchange. Think I will go and register now.

Thank you

Can I link this blog post to my recent post?

Mostly my SCRIVENs were from Dorset. I have a few family members associated with Croydon, but not the SCRIVENs.

Were your Scriven family from Croydon, Surrey at all?

Such certificates are often found (& easily & cheaply copied) in places like probate and divorce files. Take a digital camera along and it need not even cost you $1 to get a copy!

Another point worth noting is that certificates are sometimes available in Archives sources. For example, from about the mid-1890s onwards, Supreme Court probate files at Queensland State Archives usually contain a death certificate, which can be photocopied for about $1. I have seen birth, marriage and death certificates (including some from interstate and overseas) in many different record series at State Archives. More details are in a Queensland Genealogy blog post.
