'''A great many of these images are now also available on the pay site [[Findmypast]]''', which would be the most common option used by those who cannot personally visit the British Library. However for ecclesiastical records, where images are not available on Findmypast due to privacy considerations, unless you have a '''full record reference''' from elsewhere, including page (or folio) number, it is not possible to order a '''non-certified image''' in terms of [https://www.bl.uk/digitisation-services/services/ordering-images Ordering images] ([https://www.bl.uk/digitisation-services/pricing Pricing]) as the Findmypast transcript only provides a partial record reference as it does not include the page (folio) number. If ordering an image online, include '''IOR''' as part of the catalogue description. (Check what is available in the indexed [[FamilySearch]] records, however generally page (or folio) number is '''not''' included.)
:'''Note''' above paragraph that the cheaper register copies will be preferable for family history purposes.
:'''Note''' some documents cannot be photographed digitally - eg some european manuscripts - and you would need to use the Library's imaging services to obtain copies.
