Thought you could just get it from the registry office on Bow Lane near the train station, thats where you go to register the births they just print them off on the computer Mick got his from there. :confused:

So, if I wanted a copy of my birth certificate, I would have to contact Blackburn, 'cause I was born there in Blackburn Royal (a long long time ago).

It would be nice to have a copy to show to my friends, many of whom think I was spawned in hell. Of course, Blackburn is pretty close to that .....;)

Blackburn office is now closed thats why you have to go to Preston:o
 
Where you were born, whether in Blackburn or Burnley, doesn't matter its where your birth was registered that counts,. Accrington births at one time were registered with the Haslingden office, they had a small office at the bottom of Avenue parade.
You don't have to actually go to the office for a copy it can be done by post. People from Australia, Canada and New Zealand doing Genealogy, order by post.
The last I heard the fee was £7-50., its all been centralised at Bow Lane, Preston.

Been doing some family research recently and wondered why the registration was shown as Haslingden for Accrington births and deaths. That answers that one then :D

what makes me laugh about birth certificates is that ANYONE can go down to the register office and get ANYONES birth certificate, all you need is a bit of info about them..eg..who their parents are and their date of birth, its bloody mad if you ask me

:eek: You can do that ! LOL :D :rolleyes:
 
Some of the more devious persons who wish to hide their true identity have been doing that for years. All you do is look in the age group you require, find a child that died very young, and apply for its birth cert, it used to be that easy. May be a bit more difficult today, but they can still dodge round it by claiming parents emigrated whilst a child, and they want to authenticate their Briish identity, no need for national insurance or nhs numbers you never had them.
