Got a death certificate for Martha Hill today. Unfortunately, it is for the wrong Martha Hill.

Arrrrrggggh! :mad5:

Just needed to vent.

That is soooooo frustrating :-(

It is indeed. :(

Now you know how I feel - more wrong cert.s than right ones for my common names - Ball from Cornwall on mum's side and Jones from Wales on my wife's side. :shocked:

Oh well, my pension has increased as of jan 2012 by $8.00 a month so in 3 months, I can buy another 2 certificates on a fruitless chase. :wink5:
