Dawn Noticed that same query on another board and that Mhairi has given you good advice but it would be good to find out what Scotlandspeople say, could you e-mail me and let me know when you find out, incase come across it again Cheers Helena

Dawn send Scotlandspeople an email & ask them why he has 2 reference numbers, they are pretty helpful. Georgina.

Hi all, I have just printed an OPR birth entry on Scotlands people website for a Thomas Heatlie born December 1828 in Selkirk and i noticed he had 2 GRO numbers. I have printed them both off and it seems he has been put in 2 different books, there's other people on the paper thats how i realized this. Does anyone have an explanation as to why this would happen. Dawn
