Where do I obtain certificates from.

[pee wee]

If I find an ancestor and would like to order a certificate eg, Birth Or Marriage who in England do I contact. My ancestor is from Kettering , Northamptonshire. I'm in Australia & will need to do things snail mail as I don't run a credit card.

Thanks Peta
