Steve Just a wee tip when searching through the Origins site anything pre 1855 enter in the red district box Midlothian and 1855 upwards you need to enter the district name ( i.e. St.Giles ,Canongate, Newington.) followed by either Edin or Edinburgh. and if your looking in Leith you have to put South Leith or Leith South the same goes for North many times I thought there just wasn't anything to return or you would have to do a general search for all of Scotland and that doesn't half cut in to the amount of pages to download if I can help further just ask Charlie Small - Edinburgh stephenmorrison wrote: > Judy, > > Once again my grateful thanks for your kind assistance, and my apologies for my shameless demands on your good nature. I have had a look at the GRO site. The only thing I found crystal clear was how to pay. I jest, I think I can cope. The trouble is that not only am I a lousy genealogist, but I'm not too hot on computers either. I will give it a try, probably next week-end during the cheap rate telephone calls period so as to give myself plenty of time. > I will let you know how I get on.
