    I have information about my ancestors that came from other people, but I'd like to confirm the information I have with birth, marriage, and death records. I've had not a lot of luck with internet resources, or I'm looking the wrong place.

    If I were wanting to get copies of the actual records, how would I go about doing so? Here's an example of information I would have on a person (acquired through sources like ancestry.com).

    CLARK, James

    b. ABT 1793
    Ansty, Leicestershire, England
    d. Feb 03 1873
    e. Burial
    Ansty, Leicestershire, England, St. Marys Church
    e. Baptism
    Mar 17 1793
    Anstey Leicester England
    e. Residence
    1851
    Ansty, Leicestershire, England
    m. GOODMAN, Rachel

    Mar 13 1818
    Leicester, Leicestershire, England
    d. Sep 24 1865

    Try this website to see if it's what you are looking for:

    http://uk.archives.com/?_act=ancestorUK ... tAod9CUAfw

    If you want to order birth, death or marriage certificates this is where they can be obtained:

    http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

    However I have to point out that records only go back as far as 1837 and go no further (at the moment) than 2005/6. This could be why you're not having very much luck.

    These sites may give you more information or point you in the right direction.

    Good luck!!
