Looking for a birth record

Can anyone help? I have found the death of my great great aunt but cannot find the birth anywhere. I've even been to New Register House, Edinburgh to no avail. Her name was Margaret Sharp Stenhouse Cook died 9th Sept 1913, Kirkcaldy. She was 10/11 months old when she died. I've tried looking for her birth around Nov 1912 but cannot find anything. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Denise

Could she have been registered with the surname of Stenhouse or Sharp by mistake?

Thanks Barry,

Can I ask where you got the information from and did you find a date of birth?

Thanks very much Barry. I'll have another look for it when I go to new register house.

I've been looking for it the last few times I've been there and just couldn't find it.

Thanks again

Denise
