  I have had a peep...and didn't like the format uhm... !!! but am now going to wait until my mind is totally awake... maybe the middle of the night..    cos it is quiet and no distractions..

Think we will all get used to it eventually

Searching multiple censuses for a single name is good - BUT it invites you to put in an age range NOT year of birth range! So how do I search for my great uncle who would be 7 in 1901 and 17 in 1911?

Scotlands People back online---- if only it would recognise my user names or passwords I could have a look 

MMmm looks good, I like it.

I noticed that the surnames are in capitals (as expected) but the forenames are as well. This looks odd, and is not the standard way to write names - can anyone remember how they were written on the old site?

Ruskie,

Capitals on old index but there are no no's down the left side now so when I copy & paste I can't check last ones I copied by no. so takes longer especially if I'm doing them at different times e.g. some today & some tomorrow.

Like other's, names I've searched on old site don't come up on new site without twiddling around.

Not liking it a lot so far.

SugarB,

Have you posted on the Scotland Board "Looking for ANYONE/ ANY SURNAME with Occupation (whatever it is)?

I am loving the new website and the free searches.

However I got a surprise extra result. As you can see I already have the marriage record for Ogilvy Taylor and Jane Turnbull(1840 Dunnichen / Montrose). Might the other record have slightly different information?

We have decided that Ogilvy was a cabbage patch kid as no record of him can be found before this marriage. He claims to have been born about 1816 in Strathcaro

Edited to add
Just realized that I do have a copy of the other record(from an ancestry tree - and they are a little different but nothing to help with Ogilvy's birth.

Thank you, Annie.

Yes, I'll try again. I asked a similar question a couple of years ago regarding the 1911 census, but with no results.

If a search of the OPRs seems to show two records of a marriage in different parishes around the same time then at least one is likely to be for Banns.
