Just in case any folk are not aware:-

Have just been on the GRO site to order a PDF and noted that the trial has been further extended.

"The General Register Office (GRO) is looking at different ways of providing civil registration services to our customers and as part of that it has looked to test the customer demand for providing records in a format other than a paper copy, via a Portable Document Format [PDF]. The GRO ran a pilot in three distinct phases between 9th November 2016 and 12th April 2017. The first phase of the pilot was re-launched on the 12th October 2017 providing copies of digitised historical births and death records for a fee of £6.00.
The pilot, which had been extended to July 2018, has now been extended further to continue to assess longer term demand. "
