If you've got a child born in Scotland for this couple then everything you want and need will be on the child's birth certificate - and you can download it for £1 from ScotlandsPeople :-)

Elise - please use the purple reply button, not my name!

That's a shame, but do you have one of the birth certs? You can search ScotlandsPeople for free to see if there is a marriage with the correct pair of names.

If you say the birth certs didint help, take it you bought some of them? So what is the address of the birth and the mothers full name.
