Scottish bmds didn't start till 1855 so you won't get a certificate

You may find the parish record but doubt it will give lots of family info

I do have Henry and Margaret,s marriage on Scotland,s people , I am trying to find out where they went after the marriage and how would I find out if they might have emigrated or if Henry Baxter may have been in the force,s and if yes could that be why I can not find a birth for their daughter Jane Baxter ...
