I don't know for certain his parents names, which is why I need his birth certificate but I have tried checking census and still nothing although it wouldn't bring him up as he was born after 1911. |

Who is it you are looking for? Could he have been born before his parent's marriage and therefore registered in his mother's maiden name? His age on the death certificate could be wrong as it depends on how well the person registering the death knew him. |

Hi There. Thankyou for all your responses. He was my papa. Problem is I know nothing about his parents. I've been told he was born in Scotland, but as nothing showed up, I tried the rest of the UK. John McGinn Boyd. Said to be born June 8th 1914 and died in Leicester Central 21 Feb 1978. I've tried his second name as McGinn too, just incase that was his mother's maiden name. Nothing! He was born in Dalry, Ayrshire. Closest hospital would have been Irvine, Ayrshire. I'm trying everything. Families back then didn't seem to communicate with each other unfortunately. :-\ |

Thankyou both for your input there, that is very kind? How did you manage to find the record can I ask? I have been checking Ancestory and FindMyPast and nothing was brought up? So strange, going to get that sorted just now. |

You will not find Scottish bmd's on Ancestry FMP or Genes you have to use Scotlandspeople as mentioned |

Can I just check. If I have the reference, where can I buy the birth certificate online? Or would I need to buy 30 credits from Scotlands People and then purchase the certificate from the same site? |
