Not all births and baptisms were recorded in the OPR for a number of reasons (SP has a good explanation of those reasons in their FAQ section). Is there a reason why you doubt the information on the death registration?

Robert's death certificate states his parents were Robert Adams and Catherine Slater. So far using Family Search and Scotlands People I have been unable to find a birth or baptism certificate for Robert. Can anyone help me please? Thank you, Dianne
