We have certificates up to 1986, arranged by number, at The National Archives. You need to provide us with the number so we can find the certificate, but until recently the card indexes to names were held at the Borders Agency in Liverpool. Now we have the indexes in our building, but it's still hideously complicated; naturalisation of foreigners and citizenship of Commonwealth citizens are held separately, as are the indexes for citizenship granted in the Commonwealth countries, rather than in the UK... and so it goes on. Oh yes, and some of the certificates are missing altogether.Audrey Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17109060807297085410noreply@blogger.com
