Re: How do I get Grid Reference Numbers on the Internet?
Hi tigger
I use two free sources
1. Get a Map from the OS website. This will allow you to get what you want up to a scale of 1:25 000 and also download maps to that scale.

http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/getamap/

2. MAGIC website. A bit more convoluted, but maps available to whatever scale you want and an icon on the top left of the screen shows a grid and question mark. Click on the point you want and a box displays NGR's and Lat and Long.

http://www.magic.gov.uk/

Hope this helps.
