Lookup Request - Samuel Eaton Spiers born 1883 Shotts
« on: Saturday 20 November 21 17:19 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for the parents of Samuel Eaton Spiers born Shotts (Eastern Division) in 1883.  Is it possible for someone to look up this information?

Forgive me if you know this -- but it would only cost you 6 units to obtain his actual birth certificate on Scotlands People.

https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

To search is free and I can confirm he is shown as born 1883 in Lanark -- but you would need to view the certificate (you can download and save it or print it if you wish).
Places of interest;
Lancashire, West Yorkshire, Southern Ireland, Scotland.

The only way for someone to "look up this information" is for them to spend a measly 6 credits on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk it's as easy as that!
Not only will it have his parent(s) name(s) but, unless he was illegitimate it will also give you their date and place of marriage.

According to the free index he was indeed born in Shotts Eastern district, not Lanark.

The county is shown as Lanark, Lodger -- I only searched on the county.
But the result said Shotts Eastern.

May I recommend that if you mean the county you call it Lanarkshire or the County of Lanark, and use Lanark on its own only if you mean the town or parish of Lanark? The same would also apply to other counties that share a name with a parish within the county. It could save a lot of confusion in future.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I see what you mean about the result showing Shotts, I have just looked at it again - however the county list shows Lanark for Lanarkshire and that's what I was going off.

I can only apologise for causing confusion when I was only trying to help.

According to the free index on Scotlandspeople -

James Spiers married Martha Ann Eaton at Shotts (Eastern District) in 1881.

Possibly remarriage of Martha from free search Scotlands People

MARTHA ANN SPIERS or EATON to WILLIAM RAE 1896 Larkhall
