Trying to source info on my Dad family. Need records of Births and Deaths in the 1930's?

Question

Tried Web sites but just dead ends, date limited to 1906 in most cases. Trying to find a death and birth certificate for 2 babies born between 1933 and 1937 in the Glasgow area. Both died approx 6 weeks old. dont know where to start. Need to piece together a family puzzle with no real details. No d.o.b, just parents names.
Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks

Answer 1

Hi Lois Lane,

I have been finding many old records in Scotland, and not any recent records like this. Here are the sites I use for Scotland, they should help you.

The National Archives and General Register are great starting points, and if you are having difficulties still, try the Kinhelp site.

Answer 2

You will find the census records are closed for 100 years. If the babies were six weeks old, they would have been issued with both a birth certificate and a death certificate. Both are public records. They can be accessed locally at the Office of the Registrar of Births, deaths and Marriages in Glasgow, or at the General Registrar, Register House, Edinburgh. It's quite easily done, just by looking through year indexes.

everybody here says is "the terrific" internet site. MY perspective is that there is no terrific internet site... that the extra websites you utilize, the extra acceptable off you're. NO internet internet site is going TO HAVE all of it. i'm a incredibly good researcher. I incredibly have (many cases) been no longer able to locate a undeniable certainty, basically to have somebody here locate it, interior of 10 minutes. and on a daily basis I help human beings here, who can't locate something... yet i hit upon it for them. I incredibly have some time past discovered to no longer say "it incredibly is no longer there".. yet "i did no longer locate it". relatively with the ssdi (which does have errors or omissions)... I incredibly have even been no longer able to locate it sooner or later, long gone decrease back interior of day after today and located it. "Milk" the ssdi with the stepped forward seek... use the surname basically and filter out it with the state or the county. especially cases persons stay close to a state line, going to a scientific institution (or homestead) in a close-by city over the state line, hence the death shows as a diverse region. constantly use extra advantageous than one source for suggestion. i will assure which you will locate conflicting suggestion.. hence you will especially cases prefer a third or maybe fourth to evaluate the in all possibility "your best option" answer. finally... as for no person left to ask.. think of of that as thoroughly widely used. the full factor of examine is which you utilize historic information to locate what no person else "knows", or what they have faith they "understand" seems to be fallible.

Web sites like genesreunited have their limitations as they are just information which someone has put on the site from their own research which may, or may not, be accurate.
I suggest you look at this site: http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/famrec/index.html
which is a good starting point for family history research in Scotland.
