I need to find some births that took place in Scotland. However, none of them are showing up on ScotlandsPeople. Anyone have any ideas where I might find them? I have no idea where 2 of them took place, but I know one was in Glasgow. These people are driving me crazy!

Thanks Georgina. I'm looking for... Thomas Liversedge, born 1852/3 Elizabeth Liversedge, born 1854/5 children of Richard and Marion Also (the one you've already seen) Thomas E Redhead, born 1852, Glasgow son of Thomas Redhead and Elizabeth Speck Both families moved back to England, so are not on the censuses in Scotland.

Tracy if I was you go back on again to the scotlandspeople and put the names in but give it a 5yr search as sometimes the year is wrong

Maybe the name was wrote down wrong as the used to write them the way they sounded and other good idea don't put area in as it might be different as well

Val, I've tried Soundex, wildcards, just the surname, no areas, with areas. Everything. I still can't find them.

Official registration didn't happen in Scotland till 1855 so you won't find anything in births before then on Scotlands People. Sorry if this is blindingly obvious! I thought you might be looking in deaths, with those as the birth years, but then you said they moved back to England. Good luck anyway, Anne

Anne, I'm looking in the Old Parish Records on ScotlandsPeople, not in the Civil Registration entries :) They should have a baptism _somewhere_.

If the family was C of E they may have waited till return to England for the baptisms? Just a thought.

I guess it's possible Janet. I actually hadn't thought of that. I know it's not on the IGI, or I would have found it by now. Guess I'll have to wait till I can get access to some English Parish records.

Hi Tracy, I've found your Redheads in 1851 names index for Glasgow. This index does'nt have birth places listed, so you would need to view actual census. Census taken TRADESTON Ward 623 Enum dist 32 page 2 Thomas Redhead age 29 Elizabeth age 32 Mary A age 8 Sarah D age 6 William age 3 Elizabeth J age 1 Cheers Liz

Tracy, I have just posted a thread about finding early records in Scotland. It may not be too much help right now because you are unsure of the area, but it may come in handy at a later date.

Thanks Margaret. I'll try it for Thomas Redhead. Think I'll have to wait a while for my Liversedges though.

If your local LDS family history centre does'nt have them in, I know they will order it for you, but I think they charge a small fee. Liz

Ok, thanks Liz. I'll try them :)

Tracy, I've been trying to trace some Scottish folk and had a break-through at the weekend. Scotlands People had the middle name down as the first name on their search, although once I viewed the search result it showed the first & middle names in the right order, and the image was the same. So if you have a middle name try that as the first name Josie
