I have two questions;
1. Am I correct in saying that you can only obtain copy certificates (Birth, Marriage, Death) from GRO or a Local Registry Office. Have looked at sites e.g. Findmypast and Ancestry and they offer a lot but stop short of allowing you access to certificates.
2. I have my Grandfathers full details, now I want to move back a generation to my Gt Grandfather and further hopefully. I have his name from my Grandfathers' Birth and Marriage certificates but don't know his DOB or age when he had my Grandfather. Am I correct in thinking that I can only ascertain this info from the census records and the way to search is take my Grandfathers DOB and go back approx 20-25 years and I should find a match.
ANy help would be welcome
