Scotland / Re: When someone appears in a record on one website but not another
« on: Saturday 14 November 20 15:50 GMT (UK) »
I did some more digging and what I found may help someone.
As Dundee correctly noted, Ancestry's source was Scottish Indexes. When I went to Scottish Indexes, it turns out that they have yet to index Glasgow Paternity Decrees. Old Scottish make their own indexes from the original records and identified the court in my ancestor's case as Glasgow. So that is why I can't find the case on Ancestry, because their source hasn't indexed Glasgow yet.
