No problem +++DetEcTive+++. It's quite confusing as, I think, it was about 1860 before the powers that be finally decided what information should be on the certificates. They remained unchanged for about a century then they started adding the mother's occupation to birth certificates and death certificates.

I am not seeing a birth for a Thomas P Brand in Glasgow ( or anywhere) in Scotland in 1940.

Only 1855 Scottish death certificates name children(surviving or deceased). That was the first year of statutory registration and the hadn't really decided what information to record. Marriage and death certificates usually name both parents and include the mother's maiden name if known.

Thomas P’s birth certificate should give you his mother’s maiden name & where they were married. I was under the impression that Scottish marriage cert also gave the mother’s maiden name? Did Thomas P marry in a different country?

As you are no doubt aware, the birth references on Scotlandspeople don’t show mmn. You might have to take the plunge & purchase a copy.
A DC usually lists the names & ages of surviving children, as known by the informant.

Looking for any info on Robert Brand who married a Mary (possibly Palmer ?)circa 1935? in Glasgow.
They had a son-Thomas P born in 1940-in Glasgow & several other children,
I'm struggling on where to look for info on this.
Had a look on Scotlands People & can't find a (definite) marriage,I think I've got Thomas's birth.
Any help on where to look?
Looked on this site & been in contact with a few people,but they only had the basic info I have..
(I have info on Thomas P's marriage )
