Hi Paz

Can't really see a possible birth entry for Sidney (searching as a S*dn Abra*)  up to 1910 on the pay to view site www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

What makes you think that he may have been born in Scotland?

There are at least 5 births registered in England c 1900 under that name.

Hi MonicaL

This info is for a friend, who lived in S.Rhodesia - as it was then,  who was orphaned at 8 yrs old and knows nothing about her father.   She isn't sure where he was born but had a vague idea it might be Scotland.   Thanks for your interest.

Hi Flattybasher9,

Where can I find this info.   I've looked on Ancestry.com but there are 38000+ names!!, most of them in the US.   And again, thanks for your interest.

Incidentally, her mother's name was Emma Charlotte Canham and she believes that she was a Sussex girl.   I have found her brother, Sidney Canham Abrams.   He died in Swindon, Wilts in, 1992.   She also has another brother, Bruce Walter Abrams.   Grateful for any info.

Hi Paz

Likely as you think the connections may not be in Scotland.

The databases to look at for possible BMDs are either:

www.freebmd.org.uk - this database is as a result of a very successful transcription programme. I am not sure what year they are up to on transcribing records and this may also vary by county team.

www.ancestry.co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx - these are the General Register Office (GRO) indexes comprising of two databases (subject to years).

Many thanks.

Paz, Sidney and Emma didn't marry in the UK? Can't see an entry on the indexes for a marriage here which is a pity.

Thanks, Monica.
