There isnt a free bmd site for Scotland but you can search the parish registers for free at www (.) scotsorigins (.)com. These cover the years 1553-1875. hope this helps. Susan

I meant to add at the end of my last message that I have the 1881 Scottish census so if you need any look ups on that just let me know. Susan

Susan, Thank you very much for the offer, but there is nothing on the 1881 census for my family that I know of. My grand mother is causing me real headaches, as apparently, she doesn't exist! so I don't know her mothers name and her father came from Ireland! Yeh...a brick wall, as they say! What I really wanted to try and do was find a marriage between Thomas McHugh and Mary ? abt 1897/8. Kim
