In Scotland it is usual to have the time of birth for every birth

I found this birth on FreeBMD, but there are no others, which is why I'm reluctant to search the 1837 site. Looks like I'll have to ask someone to look at parish registers for me. Jan

Hi Jan, I have never come accross a time of birth on a certificate and also recall this being mentioned before regarding twins so it's quite likely. Why not try entering the surname and birth date on FreeBMD to see if there is another birth that could match? I have found that some registrars are very helpful on the telephone and will ring you back if your requested certificate is the wrong one. Pam

I've just received my great great uncle's birth certificate, which I wanted solely to confirm his mother's maiden name. His siblings were born before 1837, he must have been an after thought. However, under When and where born, it says the date and then Half past 10 pm. So does that mean he was a twin? Is there anyway of discovering this, or will I need to invest another £5 in the 1837? I've checked FreeBMD, and there is only the one birth registered. Jan.
