Scotlandspeople website has a Thomas Quinn and Margaret Stewart marriage 1939 Midlothian

The birth marriage and death certificate for Thomas will not be available online

If you are in Scotland and near to one of the genealogy centres in Scotland (Edinburgh and Glasgow are the two main ones), you can book yourself in for the day and view more recent BMD certificates which you would not normally be able to view online on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk due to cut off dates for data protection.
