births in Portobello

[bykerlads]

I'm a bit of a novice as regards researching in Scotland.
Can anyone tell me how to go about finding a birth or baptism record for about 1836 in Portobello?
Are records available on-line?
The families I'm looking for are Bambrough and Brown.

There is a Bambury family (James, Agnes, +4) living in Gilmerton in 1841.  (FreeCen)

Brown is one of the commonest names in the Edinburgh area.

Thanks for the replies,
Hibee- is Gilmerton in the Portobello area?
ev- you refer to an on-line tree which looks promising- could you tell me how to view this tree, please?

Baptism for Catherine ?

Official registration started in 1855 in Scotland , so there maybe no record of a birth/baptism for Elizabeth Bambrough

Thanks for pointers so far.
The folk I'm looking for are:
Jonas Bamborough b.1836 Portobello, fthr Jonas glassmaker. Jonas jn has relocated (back?) to Newcastle by the 1850's.
Also, Jonas jn's wife and her family: Elizabeth Brown b.1837 Portobello, fthr William b. Scotland 1801 potter + mthr Margaret b.1801 Scotland- the Brown's had moved to N/castle by 1851.
I feel the Browns were Scots but that the Bamboroughs were Geordies who went to Portobello to work in the glassmaking industry.
All help welcome,

Gilmerton is maybe 4 or 5 miles inland from Portobello.
