Scotland / Name appears on Census but not on Birth index
« on: Thursday 28 September 06 13:50 BST (UK) »
I need a bit of help/advice here. 
My g/f, Anthony FERGUSON, was born 13.06.1902, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. I have not been able to trace his birth index, so because of Scottish links I looked on ScotlandsPeople.
There was only 1 Anthony FERGUSON born in 1902 but that was 17.02.1902 and I am not convinced this is the right person.
Out of curiosity I decided to check the Scottish census for Anthony FERGUSON’s father (another Anthony FERGUSON). I found him but also found that there was an entry for a further Anthony FERGUSON born around 1900, but this person did not appear in my original index search ! Therefore I can’t view his birth record to see if this may be the right Anthony FERGUSON.
Any clues/ideas ?
Many thanks
