I don't. I know the process of scotlandspeople inside out. I've been doing this for over 20 years. My point is that you can't just spend £1.20. The minimum you have to hand out is £6. Maybe that's a fair amount and maybe it's not ... Anyway - I don't enjoy conversing with someone who starts their sentence with 5 No's, so I'll withdraw from this thread.

Yes, minimum spend is £6. However, once you've spent yer £1.20, you still have £4.80 left. If you want, that'll keep for 6 months. Using SP wisely, that will go a long way. Not everyone can get to New Register House. Remember, you are privel, privvli, lucky to be able to visit NRH. Folk in the States, Oz or even England don't have that option.

If you only want to view one certificate it still costs £6. I know £6 isn't a lot of money, but I can get a whole days unlimited access at NRH for £10, so maybe I'm just thinking in relative terms.

I accept SP can be expensive. However, there are ways to use it. One can carry out pretty exhaustive searches at no cost, if you know what you're looking for. Using it in combination with IGI and other free searches, I've often managed to figure out a BMorD without spending more than 1 credit (20p). To be able then to get the image online for 5 credits (£1) seems fairly reasonable to me. I do wish SP offered an annual subscription with unlimited access though.

It's a great site though for those who aren't as close to Edinburgh. I think a big improvement would be if they allowed people to pay to view single certificates, rather than having to pay for a batch of 'credits'.

I'm beginning to wish I'd never added to this thread! The original question was from 2006. I added recently a comment - duh! - indexes available on SP. Gordon jumped in with what I think was a pretty nasty, uncalled for comment. It seems you maybe never read the entire conversation either Don.

Burial is a personal matter, although, between 1856 and 1860 ONLY, the undertaker's details were recorded on the death certificate, along with place of burial. Most modern undertakers have very poor records of the burials, in my experience, or else they refuse public access to their company records. You would have better luck with either the church or the local authority cemetery administration, depending on when the death occurred. The death of the child might be recorded on a family gravestone, but not always. Gordon Johnson. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hi Lori Is this your family? 1851 Scotland Census Parish No: 891 Civil Parish: Leswalt County: Wigtownshire Address: Clayhole ED 6a Household: 238 Line 16 Thos Mc Alpin note...no 'e' aged 30 b.Ireland Occ: Weaver Magdalane McAlpin aged 20 Jas Heto McAlpin aged 7 Margt McAlpin aged 1 ___________________________________ 1861 Scotland Census Registration No: 899 Civil Parish: Leswalt Registration district: Stranraer Civil Parish: Leswalt Town: Stranraer County: Wigtownshire Address 2 Sheuchan Close Ed: 8 Household: 80 Line: 5 Thos McAlpin aged 40 Mary H McAlpin aged 38 (alternative name for Magdalane) James Henry McAlpin aged 17 Madline McAlpin aged 14 (This may well be daughter Magdalane - not sure where she was on the 1851 Census.

Margaret McAlpin aged 11 William McAlpin aged 8 Edward McAlpin aged 6 Agnes McAlpin aged 3 Thos McAlpin aged 2 Mary McAlpin aged 5 months Could the 1951 James Heto McAlpine also be 1861 Mary H McAlpine (Heto maybe a maiden name). Note that his name reverts to James Henry McAlpin in 1861 Census. Could this be a transcription error? There seem to be plenty on this Census.

Hello Sandra, Thanks so much for doing this look up. Was this the only family with an Elizabeth as a daughter and were all the family born in Ireland or just the Father?

I found the name "carronbrive" as a place in Lanark on Ancestry, but they don't have the images to check it out... can it be Carron Bridge? Does anyone know? Barbara L.
