Actually Suzanne , now that you mention I have found him on 2 cencus records showing he lived with his grandmother while his mother worked. I will have another wee look and see if that makes a difference to any birth records and if he appeared as grandson on the cencus. Thanks |

Eric's right - registration didn't start until 1855 in Scotland. |

I don't think civil registration even started in Scotland until 1855......... |

In England at least, birth registration wasn't made compulsary until 1875 so many births before that date went unregistered. I'm not sure if it is the same for Scotland but I would say it was likely. |
