This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Armstrong, Lindsey Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EgC.2ACE/9945.1 Message Board Post: You, or your representative, may search the register of births in New Register House, Edinburgh. You you may write to the Registrar and purchase a birth certificate. See http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/. That would, at least, give you the full name, age amd place of birth of the child, if born in Scotland. People tend to return to their home town, and so this may tell you which town beginning with 'Kirk' to search. Towns of significant size beginning with Kirk include Kirkcaldy in Fife or Kirkintilloch in East Dunbartonshire. Good luck
