Here's the best place to start:

https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

It doesn't cost anything to register and search, but you have to pay for certificates.

Familysearch.org can be useful too at times.

I have been looking for information about Robert Bryden McGeorge who has a war grave in Eckford Cemetery. I was looking for his cause of death - it was influenza and pneumonia in 1919 when he was still in the army. Thankyou to those who helped.

You would need to buy credits and download his death cert to get that info

MCGEORGE   ROBERT BRYDEN  age 42   1919    787/A 3  Eckford

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

He is not on www.cwgc.org so did not die from injuries whilst serving

Can you edit your reply 5 to remove the rogue line at the very bottom of the reply.  It is making the message box much larger than it should be.  Click on the Modify button to edit

Is there a particular reason you have posted this request on a 2016 post belonging to somebody else rather than starting a new topic?

CaroleW and monicaL - I get totally lost on this website, it's a wonder I get anything posted at all. I'm not very techie! I wish it was easier to use - simpler instructions would help. Sorry!

Rootschat couldn’t be simpler.  When you get an email notification of a reply - just click on the link in the email

I note that some of the replies on your other post direct you to Scotlands People.  I will ask the moderator to merge this post with your current one to prevent any duplication of info etc
