   I have the "Application for an Overseas Birth Certificate" page at the   
   GRO site open.  I have given the date of birth as 1849, knowing only   
   that the child's age was given as 2 on the 1851 Census.  (He died in   
   1851 but the stupid GRO site does not find the entry and does not allow   
   me to enter only the date and reference (which I know from FreeBMD) so   
   cannot confirm age there.  The compulsory fields are Surname, Forename   
   and GRO Reference but the Index to Marine Deaths only has the date as   
   1837-1862 and the only reference is "page 154."   
      
   On the order form do I just put "154" or "page 154" as the reference or   
   do I need to specify which Index it is?  The GRO's own Help is no help   
   at all!
