Scotland / Re: help - scotlands people searches

Thanks for looking
Have just spend another £12 on fruitless searching - would be great if i could look at bute for 1901 - the whole lot - as could find the adoptive parents - not found on normal search - think i may have to wait until the 1910 census is out as she was born 1911 - so adoptive/birth parent would've been somewhere in Scotland (even though birth parent born Scotland somewhere c 1886
Frustrating - don't mind paying for info - but resent paying for info before i can say if it is the person or not ! why can't it be like the English BMD/census info?! - free or pay when found!

hi
thanks for reply
just phone my friend - she's got her mums birth certificate somewhere -she's 'digging it out' born 22 july 1911, her grand mother was 25(ish) when her mother born so c1886
Confirms that both her mother and gran weren't married, her mother was 'taken in' by another family (Hugh Mclean) and she herself was born out of wedlock
I've traced my own english history and there's no end of sites to look around and was confident that i would be able to find her mum/grandmum/other members as easy - but when i try tracing scots i've come to an abrupt halt - can even find my friend on any databases i've looked at!!

thanks
see what you mean - i think i'll have to see if i can get to check each date as wish to find father of said robert - hopefully will be on parish register - the family have 'traditional' forenames - so once i find correct date will be able to say if it's the 'correct one' - at least this will narrow it down to two dates rather than several years
thanks again
