	I've joined ScotlandsPeople and have found a marriage and a death but can't find any births as the indexes only go up to 1905. How do you search for them?

	just found this on the web For reasons of confidentiality, births after 1905, marriages after 1930 and deaths after 1955 can only be viewed at either New Register House or Park Circus. They are not available online. hope that helps

	Thanks to the two of you. That seems daft when Ancestry allow you to go through to 1983. Now I'm stuck again! Jan
