Would just like to say thank you Falkyrn I have no ancestors in Scotland so it is not a website I would use, however I do have a sibling of one of my great grandparents who "migrated" to Scotland so that has allowed me to research other records to find out more about their family

But what is much  more exciting is my great aunt who I knew very well her husband died before I was born, she was not married in the 1911 and I have never found a marriage for them, family stories say he was Irish or Scottish and little more and it is one brick wall I have thinking that I will not find any more until the next census release about his birth place simply because of you sharing these free credit I started to look for potentials....and after some research leading me to the Irish census  I think I may have just found him, born in Ireland of Scottish parents, still only a potential and I will still need more record proof however it has given me a new line to research with this brick wall...so a BIG thank you

Thanks Falkyrn.
This post is a natural hand made product. The slight variations in spelling and grammar enhance its individual character and beauty and in no way are to be considered flaws. Unfortunately my preferred method of writing (Parker Quink on Basildon Bond) cannot be used.

Thanks for this, I've no ancestors from Scotland but it looks as though my husbands Irish gg gf was there in 1901 - I wanted to view the image as A* has transcribed his occupation into gobbledegook, FindMyPast had something that made more sense, wanted to make my own mind up.

Registered today, got my 20 free credits. So thanks everybody.
Got my first marriage with no problems. From this information I checked on familysearch for another marriage. William Watt to Mary Strachan on 3rd June 1853 Brechin. Checked on Scotlandspeople it showed this marriage, so I downloaded. Unfortunately it sent the other page of the register.
Don't know what happened.

Am I allowed to put the full marriage from Scotlandspeople on my Rootschat thread ?

And thanks to Scotlandspeople.

In 1853 there was no statutory civil register - this started only in 1855.

So what you have can only be an extract from the parish register kept by the Church of Scotland. The Brechin ones can be quite long, and sometimes extend from one page on to the next.

Why not contact SP through the reporting link on the download page, tell them that you have got the wrong page and ask them to send you the right one?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
