They would quite possibly be in the Consular BMDs (online at findmypast and familyrelatives). These indexes are for births, marriages, and deaths that occurred overseas and were registered with the local consulate. The certificates can be ordered through the GRO like any other England/Wales BMD.

I believe the scotlandspeople website also has an overseas index of some sort.
