Anyone who has access to ScotlandsPeople?

Hi,

I hope I'm allowed to ask this question..

Looking for a Birth Record of Robert Mill Cook born (from UK death record) 3 March 1931 and I had a look at the site mentioned above and it came back with one result (I don't have any credit). Could someone please get the info for me ? I think Robert's father was Archibald Cook. (would the 1 credit to view details show parents' names without having to download the image?.. If so, then that's all I need)

Thanks,

T

I've posted this request on other site and haven't had a reply.. Will update this once found or got a reply elsewhere.

Hi T,

The information on the SP index is as follows:

Robert Mill Cook, male, b. 1931 in Kelty, Fifeshire

The certificate would have to be ordered at a cost of £10. The full certificate would give you parents' names and their date and place of marriage.

Ahh Many thanks, least I know where in Scotland he was registered. It'll do for now!

Thanks Hume

Been doing a bit of detective work ...

I think Robert was the son of Archibald Cook (b. abt. 1906) and Agnes Montgomery Thomson (b. abt. 1912), who married in Kelty in 1929. Archibald's father was Robert Mill Cook* and mother Margaret Arnott/Armit. They married 1904 in Auchtermuchty.

*Robert Mill Cook (1884 - 1970) was the son of Archibald Cook and Annie Mill.

Hope this helps.

Hi again Hume,

  That sounded good! I'm waiting for my aunt to ring me with the name of Robert Mill Cook's mother,  I hope it turns out to be Agnes to tally with your findings. Will update once I get the call.

Thanks again

Hmm looked back to the tree, I do have Robert being father to Archibald, so your findings could be right! (My aunt only gave me names of fathers, not the mothers). I did think that Mill was a maiden name to any of the mothers.

Do keep us updated.

Blimey, Finally took me ages to figure out how to post on this site.
Anyway I nearly had kittens when I found this thread when looking for something else in google.
I am the great granddaughter of Robert Mill Cook and Archibald Cook was his father who was married to Annie cook, m.s Mill.

Archibald Cook used to be a police Constable in Dunfermline City Police, he was a constable in 1882 6feb 1882 at age 27 years old.
I guess he left the force due to the bad wages and he went into the mines.
Mill and Armit comes from the female side of the family.
Archibald and Annie got wed in 1880 7th November Beath.

I am going to Auchtermuchty Fife Saturday to find his grave or both their graves.

You can email me anytime.

Agnes Montgomery Thomson is my grandmother.
Agnes died in childbirth and my mum was adopted out to her uncle Andrew Armit Cook and he was married to Catherine Cook,m .s Smith.

Archibald Cook was my mother Nans real father from Kelty.
The first post goes way back in the generations of our Grandfathers.
Archibald Cook married again after Agnes died, and he had step daughters and a son Owen.
I also know my mum's brother were Billy-(Dead), Archie-  , Robert, Alec.
