SP - marriages after 1933

[sueky71]

Is there a particular reason why you cannot search for a marriage on SP after 1933?

I know on the site it says that births/marriages/deaths after certain years are not viewable (and I understand the reasons for this)
But for births and deaths it allows you to search up to 2006 and if necessary order an extract.

I just wondered why it isnt possible to do this for marriages?

Thanks
Sueky

Hi Sueky.

I don't profess to know the answer.

However, there are a lot of friendly folk on here that will do look ups for you in NRH or Glasgow.

Hi Sueky and Dave 

Scotlands People have been promising the extended searchable marriage indexes for some time (since the release of the birth and death extended indexes). My understanding is that they are still coming to terms with huge increased workload as a result of the birth/death indexes and people finding it easier to order these types of certificates.

The extended marriage indexes are due to be available on the site ...the question is when

Thanks Monica.

I really don't have any (many) bad words to say about SP. 

I reckon we are fortunate to have such detailed records available to us online in Scotland.

Did you get your freebies?

Re your post on the newsletter? Sure did 

In respect of Scotlands People as a whole Dave, totally agree with you.
