Hi Julie1969,

 Great news, that's a lot of your mind then. How did you find them? It is very difficult to search online in those dates.

As we have mentioned now a number of times on this and the other post on the General Scottish Board www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,524873.0.html, we only have access to the same resources as you are now looking at on ScotlandsPeople.

You are in a period where nobody has access to records, other than indexes, as have been posted by Sancti. You can do the same searches people here are doing on the official pay to view site www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, which has been mentioned a few times. The cut off to view records (as images from the actual registers) on SP are currently:

Births 1910
Marriages 1935
Deaths 1960

Unless you are lucky and someone recognises all these names from their own family, you will have to order certificates to determine names and events after the cut off dates shown above.

We can't check the specific details on any birth cert from this period. You need to either order the cert or arrange for someone to look at the details on the birth entry at one of the main genealogy centres in Scotland.

I thought your mother was born in 1942 (from her death cert details in England). Why are you asking about 1939?

it was my father who registered the death ,but must have got the dates wrong somewhere?.

Julie, Sancti found another birth entry that he has already included on the other post you have for an Elizabeth born in 1942 in Bellshill (the year given on your mother's death cert by your father).

From what you have said elsewhere, you have now ordered their marriage cert. This will let you re confirm her age at the time she married and hopefully provide a parent's name. It should be with you next week if it's already been ordered. Might be an idea to hold off on any more searching until you have received it. You can't move back without verifying information as you go. It is really easy to go off track if you don't check and verify information.

It is confusing for all to have two posts running at the same time on the same topic as you have here on the Lanarkshire board and the Scottish General board. Which one would you like to leave open so that all responses can be kept together?
