Margaret Unfortunately it is not a scottish one, this is from my Grandfathers side and he was born in England, it is my grandmother side that is Scottish. If England followed suit like Scotland it would be so much easier, as not only would we have the parents of the person (birth certificate) but it also gives the date of marriage. I just wish all my rellies were Scottish, then it would make my life a whole lot easier. :o) |

With a minor, the informant is usually a parent. I have 2 here from 1881, one died at 5 months, the other at 1yr 8 months. In the occupation column, it states son of and name of father, and the informant is also the father. On the other the informant is the mother, and occupation column states son of fathers name. These certificates are for 2 children of the same parents, so it looks like the occupation column would give you the fathers name, at least. |

i am hoping it will give parents names....on FRC it says it just gives name of informant. but i would of thought it would be slightly different for a minor |
