Does anyone have any access to Scottish records please?

I am looking for a marriage between Stephen Kindon and his wife Elizabeth in circa 1861.

On later census in England she gives her birth place as just Scotland.

Any help appreciated. Nala.

Hello Nala, you'll probably need to buy some credits on Scotland's People - it's not a subscription site so people wouldn't be able to look records up for you without paying themselves.

You would need to look on Scotland's People really.

An Ancestry tree has his wife as Elizabeth Morrison (no evidence provided).

This might be him 1861, not sure if you have this - possibly she came from Glasgow?

You haven't given any birth years for Stephen and Elizabeth or which part of Scotland or England you've found them in.

We're therefore fumbling in the dark so I'm just guessing this might be connected:

Great,

There is an old letter in the family with that Waterloo St address on it.

Gosh after all these years this address cones to light.

Stephen left Worcestershire to go to Scotland. His first child William Kindon was born in Scotland in 1863.

Thanks for what you have found. :-) Nala.

Used some credits to look at the actual image of William's birth (have tried to send image to Nala). Stephen and Elizabeth were unmarried at the time of the birth.

Elizabeth gives her occupation as a Cap Maker on the birth registration. THis Elizabeth is in the correct area and is the only one showing on the 1861 census as a cap maker.

The 1851 for them. Wonder if Crotha in 1861 is actually Crathie?
