The problem with Scottish records is that there is a 100 yr closure rule on births, 75 on marriages and 50 on deaths which are available online. Before that, you can access Scottish records via ScotlandsPeople. Janice

	You need to start with what you are sure of........your father. Get his birth cert............it will tell you the full names of his parents. You can then look for their marriage.......and so on.............. Incidentally, your message is a little unclear.......was George born c1929, or is that when the marriage took place? Reg
