Alex,

Without the marriage cert you will be following the wrong families.

You have no idea what the middle name of Arthur actually is or when and where he died.

No idea of how old they were when they married or the names & occupations of their fathers from the marriage cert.

and there is an esther eliza smith born brighton 1858 which fits in with the census but theres also an esther blaber born 1859 which also fits :(

Yes, it is normal for both to show if there are 2 brides with the same first name and the same reference numbers.

However, you still need to get the marriage certificate of Kippen/Miles otherwise you could be tracing completely the wrong family.

Ancestry only has the transcriptions of the 1841 to 1901 Scottish census

Civil registration began in Scotland in 1855.

Which ever way you look at it you need the MARRIAGE CERT

Scotlandspeople - which is a pay to view site

BUT you need the marriage cert first before spending money on viewing birth certs on Scotlandspeople

G83 Report 1 Jan 2012 22:54

ok if indeed nellie was scottish is there no way of looking up a birth ?

Catherine

Catherine Report 1 Jan 2012 22:51

You really need the marrige cert. to find out how old the couple were when they married. Without this info you can't hope to find a definate birth record.

G83 Report 1 Jan 2012 22:50
