Where We Left Off

As you will remember (see page 129), I placed an order for the following:

  • Denzil Garbett’s birth certificate
  • Certificate of Edgar Garbett’s marriage to Ellen Cousins
  • Edgar Garbett’s birth certificate
  • Ellen Cousins’s birth certificate

 

The date is now 10th September and I’ve just phoned the GRO because only the birth certificates arrived as expected on the 26th September. I was pleasantly surprised by the response I received from the GRO. The person I spoke to was understanding, able to trace my order easily and went out of his way to solve the problem there and then. Unfortunately, he couldn’t solve the problem but has put in an urgent request that my order be looked into as it was for a birthday gift. It is worth noting that in all the years I have used the services of the GRO I have never had a problem.

Below is the tree where I had left off without evidence that my research was correct:
