Hi Eva Thank you very much i appreciate you looking for me it helps to know the maiden name of the mother  I can look for her family now thanks bye Jennifer

Hi Jennifer.

I would be careful about this information as it has been submitted by a member of the LDS and doesn't state the source. Civil registration commenced in Scotland in 1855 and the Familysearch IGI has transcriptions of births and marriages 1855 to 1875 from the Statutory Registers so in theory there should be an entry for the birth transcribed from the Statutory Registers but there doesn't appear to be.
