registration district

Hello

I wonder if anyone can tell me where the registration district is on the attached certificate, i've had a look online can't see anything suitable, also why would the certificate be unavailable to purchase.

Thank you
Patricia

Have you read this re buying the cert

Death is under her married name but there are 3 possibilities - which one is she? 2002 Aberdeen.  2012 Glasgow  or 2013. Buckie as each of those deaths shows a mothers maiden name.

from what  I can see this appears to be a birth registration.
Even if the entry is not available to see instantly, there 'should' be a link to purchase the cert, but its not there.There's obviously some sort of hiccup in the system

I'd suggest contacting Scotlands People, explain the problem and I am sure they will do what they can to help.

Hello Boo & Carole

Carole

The lady's adoptive maiden name is Coughlan birth name is Webster, married surname is Bain, i've found the death record for Glasgow 2012 giving mothers maiden name as Gallagher which if memory serves me is her adoptive mothers maiden name.I'll need to double check this.

Boo

i'll drop scotlands people an email regarding this see what they say.

Many thanks for your help

aah, if this is an adoption then the cert is probably not generally available (though may be for the parties involved) Scotland's People will give you a definite answer but at a  guess the AR may well be Adoption Register. These are (rightly) usually closed to the general public

NRH in that context means that the child was adopted, and AR does indeed mean Adoption Register. 

The adoption certificate can be viewed in a Scotland's People Centre, but it will tell you only the child's date and country of birth and the names of the adoptive parents.

You will not be allowed to see the child's original birth certificate. Only the adopted person or someone acting on behalf and with the express written authority of the adopted person is allowed to see the original birth certificate.

Unless, that is, you already happen to know the child's birth name, in which case you can see the birth certificate in the normal way. As it's 1933 you would have to order it to be sent to you.
