Thank you very much for the response Alison. I have been using scotlandspeople for a few years now and appreciate that these records are not yet available and was just being hopeful that someone who knew of this gentleman would see the post and have the information. As it is for a direct descendent (g grand-daughter) of Watson FRASER's that I am doing the research, and they know nothing other than his name, rough date of birth and place of birth, I thought I would throw out a few feelers before committing to actually buying a certificate that may not be the right one. Thanks again for your reply. Much appreciated. All the best Wendy -----Original Message----- From: B&A Smith Sent: Sunday, February 02, 2014 11:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ABERDEEN] Watson FRASER born 1922 Turriff. Birth certificates from www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk are only available for births prior to 1914, but if you can make a personal visit to a registrar's office in Scotland, you could obtain this information. If you know (or can guess) what school he attended, it might be possible to find his father's name in the school admission register. Those which survive are held at Aberdeenshire Archives and there is information about their collections at http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/education_learning/local_history/archives/loc_archiveshomepage.asp .
