Marriage reference
« on: Monday 07 March 05 17:05 GMT (UK) »
Trying to find reference to marriage of a Miss Helen Thorburn Spiers to a Mr ???????   Boag.
Year possibly 1960.
Do not have first name and cannot get access to Scottish BMD web site to check.
I have tried many times and can register but not access the site once I have.

Please Please can anyone help?

Hi Kev,

I'm afraid that the Scotlandspeople website is no good to you.   :(  They only have the indexes and images up to 1929 for marriages. 1930 will be added next year.  You will have to wait another 30 years before 1960 makes it online!  To quote the site:
Quote
Why are there restrictions on statutory record searching?
Online access is restricted to data over 100 years old for births, 75 years for marriages and 50 years for deaths, in accordance with GROS policy, to protect the privacy of individuals. However, later records may be accessed from New Register House, Edinburgh.
