That's only temporary, during the coronavirus pandemic, and it only affects certificates after the cut-off dates (100 years for births, 75 years for marriages, 50 years for deaths).

I don't think so. I think that Albert Edwardson is the son of Thomas Edwardson.

Albert Edwardson married Robina McIntyre in Gorbals in 1919. That marriage certificate is available to download on Scotland's People.

Helen Burns Edwardson was born in 1919 in Greenock. That birth certificate is also available to download.

Albert Edwardson was born in Greenock in 1897. That birth certificate is also available to download.

In the 1901 census there's a family in Greenock consisting of Thomas O Edwardson, 44, ship rigger, born Norway;  wife Mary, 35; sons William, 18; Edward, 12; Otto, 7; Albert, 4. You can download the original census from Scotland's People.

Thomas Otto Edwardson, aged 79, died in Greenock in 1934. His death certificate should tell you the names of his parents including his mother's maiden surname.

Thomas Otto Edwardson was married in Glasgow in 1880 to Helen Burns.

Its not conflicting information is it ?  Albert is the father and his father is Thomas Edwardson 29 Main Street Greenock.

Albert Edwardson and Robina McIntyre - 1919 - 644/17 151 - Gorbals

Because one of the standard questions asked of a passenger entering the USA was the name and address of their next of kin in the country they had come from.

Yes I viewed on ancestry. I don't know what the format is on find my past - could you turn to another page perhaps ?
Page 1 on ancestry is 1 - 13 and page 2 is 14 - 36
