If you have the GRO reference (eg from Ancestry or other web site) you can order direct from http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/. You can also try it without the reference but I haven't tried that and don't know how successful it might be - though with details from the Parish Registers you should stand a good chance.
If you provide some basic info (eg mother's maiden name) they will check the certificate and only print it if it matches, this will save you some of the cost.
Current cost for standard delivery is £9.25
