Margaret, if you live in Scotland the best place to start is either the Scotlandspeople Centre in Edinburgh or the Mitchell Library in Glasgow. Book into the Scotlandspeople Centre for only £15 for a days research which lets you view all Scottish BMDs. |

You can search the Scottish census on GR and see transcriptions - it's handy as it can save wasting money buying images for the wrong person at SP. |
