Title: Records between 1925 and 1950
Post by: paulsplace2009 on Monday 10 August 15 21:35 BST (UK)
Hello

I am in the middle of writing up the family history, and trying to fill in gaps.

Are there any scottish records available between the years of 1925 and  1950, other than BMD, that can help us trace the tracks of our ancestors?

Cheers

Paul

Here's one suggestion, but read carefully what you can and, more importantly, cannot find from this source:

The 1925 valuation rolls are available on scotlandspeople. School admission rolls are a useful source of information too. What about occupations? Trade directories, membership of unions, clubs etc.

I would agree with Andy.

SP are the main people for Scottish records & you may have noted that you cannot view any Scottish records anywhere else.

FindMyPast & Ancestry only give transcriptions of them.

I think this is only for England and Wales...

"Later this year, we’ll be releasing the 1939 Register, a comprehensive overview of the civil population of England and Wales in 1939, and the most significant family history release of the decade." No mention of Scotland.

There are loads of records available, as flst has mentioned, but not many of them are online.  You may need to contact local archives for more information as they might hold records which will help.  You can use the Scottish Archive Network catalogue to see what's out there!  It can be found at www.scan.org.uk

Yes, but just to stress that the 1939 records are not available through ScotlandsPeople but through the link I provided.
