I have a Thomas Robert Rochfort married to a Jane Renwick 08 DEC 1849 Logierait, Perth, Scotland, but I can't find Thomas's birth. I found Jane's but not Thomas's. I am trying to find the name of his father. Have tried LDS but no luck. |

Thanks Jacqueline, I might do that. It gets a bit expensive doesn't it. I have already paid for 3 certificates for other names. As a matter of interest, why does my name come up in black and everyone else's red? |

Hi May, Are you aware that scotlandspeople will only have BMD certificates from 1855? That is when is was made compulsory to register such events in Scotland. You would need to have a look at the parish register for Perth. You might find a lead to the parents names on that. It would also tell you which parish the bride and groom were from. I'm sue that you are aware that any records that you find on LDS need to be confirmed by another source as there are numerous errors and it is also not complete. Let me know if I can be of further help. Reagrds Margaret |
