I researched my family on the Scots Origins site. I ordered and received copies of the OPR pages for the births of my gggrandparents and their marriage. There was a little more info on the actual record than what is on line at the site. There was more specific location information, and the father of the bride's name was listed. The only location on line, for both kinds of records, was the civil parish in which they were registered. The OPR also included the town or farm where the event took place. I understand that the additional information in the OPR's is a function of the person keeping the records at the time. You just have to get the copy to find out how much more you'll know by doing so.
