Could anyone look up a marriage in Scotland please? circa 1900. I have 20 credits but for some reason they have expired. There is one Marriage on there with the Groom's surname Christie and the Bride's Thornton and I cannot get to view it. If some kind person could get this image I would be very grateful. Jenny.

Sorry silly me, I have been on SP and typed in Christie and Thornton on the Statutory Registers, Marriages 1855-1906. There is just one image to view. I am hoping it is the Parents of a Rosalind Christie born c 1906. Fingers crossed that you can help. Jenny.

Hi Marion, thinking about it, I think they were some free ones I got via a Sunday newspaper. At the time I didnt realise they had to be used before a certain time. Jenny.

Jenny, Sorry but I have no credits left on ScotlandsPeople and not planning to buy any more otherwise I would gladly have taken a look at the marriage for you. Narrowed it down to 1902. Maureen

Hi Jenny Might be worth contacting SP, and ask them if you pay another £6 for credits. will your 20 showing be added. If it's time that has expired you should get them when you buy more...if you know what I mean. No harm in asking them,.you get longer now to use your credit and I am sure you will find something to look up. Marion

If you get another £6 for 30credits your credits you have left will be added on then you have 90 days to use them

Thank you Foggy D. for the look up your very kind, it is really appreciated. Also, thanks everyone else for your advise. I was really miffed when I realised I had lost out on my credits. Will get them topped up today now I have access to hubbby's bank card. Jenny
