Looking for birth registration in Lossiemouth 25th June 1933
« on: Sunday 18 May 14 16:24 BST (UK) »

A friend of mine has asked me to help research their family - who originated from Scotland.

I am looking for a birth for Jack Pirie Rose who (according to his death certificate) was born in Lossiemouth on 25th June 1933.

My friend doesn't have a birth certificate for his Grandfather, but details taken from his marriage certificate  show his father was John Rose. 

I understand Jacks Mothers name could be Catherine/Kathrine Pirie (Pirrie).

I am not familiar with searching Scottish records - where to look etc.   I do have a full subscription to Ancestry but cannot find anything.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Hi Fay ,

http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ is the only place for Scottish BMD's.

The 1933 birth certificate cannot be viewed online as it is too recent , it would need to be ordered.

Lossiemouth is in the Parish of Drainie.

Thank you ev - during my search - which proved fruitless - I haven't been able to find a birth registration reference so therefore unable to order a copy of the certificate.

I will have a look at the link you provided to see if i can find it.

Just had a look and there is one possible match - however as it is a pay to view site then i need to buy credits to see if its the correct birth - but how do i know if it is the one i am looking for.

Is there a free site that will give a birth registration reference or any other details.

If you do manage to get back earlier, Moray Council has a free site called Libindx which allows you to search for folk from Moray. It does give quite recent information on deaths.

It's £12 to order the certificate.
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/content/help/index.aspx?r=554&412

The birth I found on the index was Jack Pirie Rose 1933 Drainie , Moray.
From the information you have given I would feel fairly confident that is the correct one.
