Hi can someone point me in the right direction. I have found a required marriage certificate in 1837 Scotland (not required to be registered in Scotland until 1855) it does not state the parents names so i have no way of knowing which birth certificate is correct for c1815 i dont believe there were any census records then either. Where do i go from here. Hope you can help |

Weren't there Scottish censuses from 1841 onwards? |

If they survived into their 40s, then you can get their d.rego's which will give parents names - assuming the informant knew them. |
