	Where can I find details about BMD in Scotland and Ireland. According to family history one of my rellies was born in Scotland but married an Irish ladies maid and as I can't find details for either I have to look elsewhere? Any ideas?

	Irish BMD records did not start along the same lines as England and Wales until 1864, although non-catholic marriages were recorded from 1845. Your Local LDS centre should be able to obtain films for you, but you would need to be sure of dates, areas, names etc. Paul
