Google 'Scottish Register office' or 'Scottish civil registration'

Sharon what were her parents names? will take a look for you. When was your grand mother born?

my grandparents names were Andrew Boak age 19 Agnes (middle name Lawrie I think) Scott 18 married at st Cuthbert in edinburgh 2/1/1940 her parents were James Scott Jessie Scott nee Wight thank you

Sharon, assuming that her parents got married in Scotland, then there is only one site that will have their marriage - Scotland's People at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk The marriages on there go up to 1930, so if they got married in Scotland it should be on there. Have you tried that one? Kate.

Sharon, a really useful site is scotfamtree(.)11forumer(.)com. The people on there are really helpful.

yes kate i have tried that one and nothing came up which is realy enoying maybe they weren't married.i know my gr gran brought up her family alone although my gr grandad was alive i think i met him when he came up to my gran in a park she told he to go away. my gran always told me he was a fulanderer (if thats how you spell it) lol

Do you have your grandmothers birth certificate? If not then what is her date of birth? Denis.
