Evening Gary

Have you got to grips with using familysearch ? its a very useful site and one many use to look for someone first then go to scotlandspeople to download the image. Saves a lot of wasted credits !

[garydevine1995]

i did type into scotlands people

sinclair
chritian
donaldson

and only one person came up and it was the years 1871-1906. did do 1871-1910 and i managed to decrease the 1910 bit and after 1905 it dissapears so i think it could be her not sure though but still looking for both of their birth and death certs

[garydevine1995]

ehmmm not really but if you give me the website i can go on and try it oh and i ment to say its in perth 1906

Its late and i may be waffling but...............

If your couple married in 1853, maybe you could look to see from the census if they had a child in 1855. An 1855 birth certificate could tell you a lot.

1855 birth records were very detailed and are a boon to the family historian. In addition to details about the child (date, place and time of birth, full name, sex), the parents' names (including maiden surname of mother), father's occupation, name of informant and relationship to child, an 1855 birth certificate also contains information on siblings, the ages and birthplaces of both parents, their usual residence and the date and place of their marriage. Such detail proved difficult to sustain and entries were modified from 1856. Information on siblings was removed, as were ages and birthplaces of parents and date and place of parents' marriage. In birth certificates since 1861 however, the date and place of the parents' marriage was reinstated.
