Does anybody have information on any Marriages/Deaths in Scotland for the following;
Albert William Bedingfield. born Dec.1873 Newcastle on Tyne.
Edith Sarah Bedingfield. born 1875 Heck, Yorkshire.
Cissie Bedingfield. born 1903 York Reg. District.
Albert Bedingfield. born 1905 Darlington.
and Mary Catherine Bedingfield. born 1908 Darlington.
The above are all members of the same family, believed to have moved to Scotland. The surname is sometimes recorded as Beddingfield. Thanks for any information. Hatter

Hatter,
Have you visited ScotlandsPeople at:
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
It is a pay per view site but might yield the information you are seeking.
However, online marriages only go up to 1929 and online deaths to 1954 - you may well be looking for later dates. Later records can be viewed in person at New Register House in Edinburgh.
There is a free surname search on the Home Page of ScotlandsPeople.
I checked the two spellings you give from 1908 (assuming that, as Mary Catherine was born in Darlington in 1908, you would not wish to look earlier than that). There were no marriages under either spelling and only 2 deaths under each. Narrowing the year range yielded the following:
BEDINGFIELD
1 death in 1931
1 death in 1948
BEDDINGFIELD
1 death in 1928
1 death in 1943
It might be worth 6 pounds to check them out? Incidentally, wildcards are possible so you can search for BED*INGFIELD
