If you stay in or near Edinburgh you can spend a day at Register House and go through all kinds of registers. The more info you have to start, the better. |

If you haven't been to register house (Scotlands People centre) in Edinburgh, you can get a free two hour "taster" session where they will show you what's available and how to use the records. |

So, if they claimed in 1911 to have been married 12 years, the date of March 1900 is not correct |

Unknown - the bit you are unsure of on the birth certificate (just above the address) is the time of the birth - 7h. 30m. PM |

If James and Mary died in Scotland, you could look for a death for Mary as her death registration would name both parents if the informant knew the details. |

hi, ive found an old birth certificate and marriage certificate that me mam got a while ago but she thought it wasn't right because of a maiden name, its for a birth for john young born the 10th of September in Edinburgh father James young general dealer and mother Mary young maiden name muirhead, married in Edinburgh march 10th i cant really make out the year i looks like 1900, and a marriage of James young and Mary muirhead McKenzie in Edinburgh on the 13 march 1900. so every thing adds up i think except for the maiden name on my grans birth certificate |

It could be that was just a mistake on your Gran's birth registration. Perhaps Mary was illegitimate or her father had died and her mother re-married so she may have been known by more than one surname before she married James. |
