Sorry, John
The rumour is unfounded. We can do a search when only a body number is
given. As is generally known, the body and commission numbers tend to be in
a similar numerical ballpark but it means we have to examine a large number
of individual records in that general area looking for the body number. Once
we have that, the comm number is a simple read-off. The production records
are microfilmed originals and these were all filed and photographed in
commission number sequence.
The search can be done - but in the absence of the comm. number, the search
fee increases from GBP25 to GBP35 - (say US$50 on current r.o.e's.)
