Mary Thompson Salmon & John Rhind
« on: Friday 03 July 15 04:39 BST (UK) »
Trying to find any of the descendants of this couple who were born in Glasgow in the late 1890's. I think her nickname may have been Polly.

Mary Thompson Salmon was born in 1897 in Kelvin, Glasgow. I dont know when John Rhind was born, presumably around the same time. I cant find them on the IGI.

Births after 1914 are not available to view online so it's difficult to find children if you don't have further information.

You can search the death index(after 1973) using mothers maiden surname.
Can't see any Rhind deaths in Scotland with mother's name as Salmon  :-\

Not surprising.

The IGI is a fantastic finding aid until 1874, because it indexes most (but not all) of the births/baptisms and banns/marriages in the Church of Scotland registers to 1854 and the statutory civil registers from 1855 to 1874. After that, it is close to useless because it only indexes people in submitted trees, and some births and marriages from 1881 and 1891. 

The only comprehensive source of information about people in Scotland born or married later than 1874 is www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
