Hiya You'll not find anything online covering the dates you gave cos all Scottish records are covered by a law that doesn't allow public access to them if there's a chance that the person/people might still be alive. the only way of getting info is to go to Register House in Edinburgh Do you have any relatives living in Edinburgh. Might be worth your while asking them to visit Register House for you and paying the £17 to look at the records/ good luck <html><DIV><FONT face="Lucida Handwriting, Cursive" color=#660099>June <IMG height=12 src="http://graphics.hotmail.com/emsmile.gif" width=12></FONT></DIV></html> > Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2007 19:28:15 +1300> From: [email protected]> To: [email protected]> Subject: [SCT-EDINBURGH] Searching for YOUNG Harold Edward: DOB 12 April 1924 in St. Albans, Hertfordshire, ENGLAND> > I'm searching for my uncle's marriage & divorce details. I know he was married in Edinburgh, Midlothian - I'm guessing between 1940 - 1950. I believe he died several years ago.> > He was in the Navy on the King George V battleship (and my other uncle Reginald was on the Warspite) they both took part in the sinking of the Bismarck. We are actually Kent people, I am guessing that he met and married a Scots lass while they were laid up in Gareloch after the war - but that's conjecture on my part.> > I don't know how long they stayed in Scotland, but they had 7 children (cousins that I didn't know I had).> I would also like to find out about their divorce. I'm not sure where they were divorced. > > I don't seem to be able to find a BDM search that covers Scotland and the ones that do only seem to go up to 1906! I am new at this but have managed to find my English people without too much trouble. Any hints for me please? I don't know where to search next, I don't want someone to do it for me really, I just would like to know where to search.> > Searching for details of YOUNG Harold Edward & 7 offspring.> > DOB 12 April 1924 : St. Albans, Hertfordshire, ENGLAND> > Mother's maiden name: DAWKINS Daisy from Thanet, Kent, ENGLAND> > Father's name: YOUNG Percy> > Married SAMMS Ethel in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland> Year unknown.> > > Many thanks> and kind regards> Paulette> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -------------------------------> To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message _________________________________________________________________ Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Spaces.
