Hi Christine, The birth certificate in Scotland gives -childs name, date & time of birth - address where born - Fathers name & profession - mothers maiden name - date & place of when they were married - signature of informant - usually mother or father if he was present at the birth - where & when registered & signature of registrar, so you get quite a nice bit of information. All the best Jim Leitch |

In England and Wales it's only done for multiple births but is the norm in Scotland. |

Is it usual to have the time of birth on a Scottish birth certificate ? I have just received a copy of my Gr grandfathers with the time of birth on I thought this was only done for twins! |
