It's there now!

I only have 8977 people in my database born in Scotland 1855-1921, died after 1921 or date of death unknown. <sigh>

You will have to be selective with them...or book in for a month at a SP Centre   

Just adding this link here which was posted by Falkyrn today on another thread:

Anyone know what "B.A" in the "Marriage/Orphanood" column means?  It's written next to children.

For example, twins David and George Kerr born 24 May 1921, parents married 1912.  Both have "B.A".

I have the birth records of these two and their parents are the same persons they are living with in the census. All the children of this couple have the same and about a third of all the others on the same page.

Page 28 it says for children it is to be noted if parents are alive or dead so B. A. means both alive.  I’m seeing F.D. and M.D. where a father or mother has died.

Thanks.

I was thinking it was about adoption, which didn't seem to make sense, and had me worried.

I think you may have omitted some details which may help clarify?

Was the 'Head' listed as 'Married' but the Spouse missing from the home?

I have the same for my father & his siblings as their father was in hospital at the time i.e. "B.A" means 'Both Alive'
