I can't seem to open that site

Ok found this https://www.gov.uk/browse/births-deaths-marriages

And https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/
Is it the same

GRO historic birth and death indexes are now available online via our certificate ordering site. Having traced a record, you are also able to directly order a certificate, for which index details will automatically be carried forward into your order.

If you are using the site for the first time you will need to complete the registration process. You will only need to go through this process the first time you use the system. Once registered your details will be stored for future reference and you will be asked to confirm the information is correct when making an application.

Thanks

Angus, sorry I was meaning to point out that Junes link needs the .uk part of the URL. Too busy nosing through the results!

Oh and I notice they are trailing sending out PDFs of certificates - the Irish system sends out a cheaper scan for research purposes and this looks similar, which will save a lot of money as I often have to go fishing amongst people of similar names.

Wouldnt no where to start with irish related people trying to stay away from Scottish end as some folks have made it clear that wr are not very welcome
