Have you already explored the content available at the TINSTAAFL Transcripts site? There are Norfolk Baptisms from 1813-1880 for many parishes (to be completed very soon) and Marriages in England and Wales from 1754-1837. Highly recommended free resource that is updated almost daily. Norfolk Baptisms are updated every weekend. Amazing free resource from a dedicated genealogist and historian. Take a look and find an ancestor!

GOOD NEWS for the day...
The GRO website now has death indexes for 1984-2019 so you can search for a death registration, and then order a certificate directly from the search results if you wish to. Paper certificates only (£11) - no PDFs available as the records have not been digitised.

There is a gap between 1957 where the index previously ended, and 1984 where the new records start. Use FreeBMD to search the indexes for those intervening years.

Birth indexes on the GRO site currently still only go up to 1918, and still no marriage indexes.

Wow!

Happy 1st birthday to Delaney, and to her Great-Great-Grandmother Rosalee, who turned 100 on the same day. They share the same birthday 99 years apart...
