	If they survived into their 40s, then you can get their d.rego's which will give parents names - assuming the informant knew them.

	Weren't there Scottish censuses from 1841 onwards? If you can find the happy couple in the 1841 or 1851 that should give you some idea of where they were born. Bear in mind that they may not have been born in the parish in which they married. Jill

Member Since: July 2007 Posts: 7 Send Message	Hi can someone point me in the right direction. I have found a required marriage certificate in 1837 Scotland (not required to be registered in Scotland until 1855) it does not state the parents names so i have no way of knowing which birth certificate is correct for c1815 i dont believe there were any census records then either. Where do i go from here. Hope you can help
