Hi Allan

Not sure about a birth in 1857ish...maybe before 1855 and the start of official registration in Scotland. IGI at
www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true is very good for the period post the start of official registration in 1855 up to around 1874/5 when the Mormons stopped loading Scottish data.

Can't see her birth entry showing to these parents  :-\ What other info do you have on her?
