Can someone please look up the following details on SP and see if anything comes up, it will not cost you any credits because I don't think its there, I have the following details which I know are correct as I have the certs, BUT they are not showing up, I want to send an e.mail to SP to point this out, but the last I did, 24 hours later I had a reply from them saying " we found them easily " and implied I didnt know what I was doing, so please check this out for me.

Alexina Forbes McRobbie,born 13/7/1918 Durris Kincardineshire, dies 6 months later 29/01/1919 Durris Kincardineshire, birth is there but no death, I have kept searching for more than 1 year on SP and found nothing, a friend went to the registrar's and found it straight away, Sooo, before I fire off another e.mail telling them their records are not complete, Please check it out for me.

Kind regards
Sandra

Sandra,

Checked on Scotlandspeople:

Birth and death are both recorded.

I wonder what I am doing wrong, because I couldnt find the death, thanks very much for looking Helen, that's saved me looking like a fool.

Regards

Sandra,

An easily made mistake is to put the christian name in first - instead of the surname.

Try again .... otherwise I can't think what's going wrong.
