I’m trying to help my friend locate the information about her ancestor Agnes Fair Graham Robertson born 1928 in Glasgow. Her parents were Agnes Graham and Andrew Ritchie Robertson.
We think her brother Thomas Paul Graham Robertson may have been her twin.
The births of both were registered in 1928 in both Partick and St Rollox. This means that they were not born in the district where their parents normally lived, so the births were registered twice.
Go to
www.scotlandspeople.go.uk and register. You can view the indexes free of charge, but you cannot view these birth certificates online because they are less than 100 years ago.
However you can view the marriage certificate of Andrew Robertson and Agnes Graham because they were married in 1924, and the cut-off date for viewing marriages online is 75 years.
To view it you will need to buy some credits, but it will costs only 6 credits to view the marriage, which works out at £1.50 - less than a cup of coffee!
Agnes Fair Graham Robertson married James Sutherland Kerr in Partick in 1949. This is less than 75 years ago so you can't view it online.
Thomas Paul Graham Robertson died in 1988. Again, you can't view this online because the cut-off for deaths is 50 years.
If you want to see the information on the certificates after the cut-off dates, you can order official copies, or you can try to find someone who is able to transcribe the information for you.
I’ve tried Ancestry and Find My Past but nothing.
No, there wouldn't be anything on either of those. See
