    Thanks

    Hi, this was sent to me last week it might be of use to you.
    We're delighted to announce that the Valuation Rolls for 1865 have just been added to the ScotlandsPeople website.

    The new records, which are FREE* to search, comprise 1.3 million indexed names and 76,512 digital images. The Rolls, which are searchable by both name and address, cover every owner, tenant and occupier of property in 1865, offering a fascinating window into the lives of mid-Victorian Scots.
    *Index for Valuations Rolls 1865 free to search until 19th April 2015. Images can be viewed for 2 credits per page.

      That's the thing with Scotlands People they let you look at something but then you have to buy credits to see the document, I do like the site and think if you know what you want then its worth the cost of credits to see the documents http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/?g...FakSwwodtygAKg

      There is also Familysearch Scottish Records. https://familysearch.org/search/coll...ntryId=1986318

      Good Luck and hope you can find someone to look for you

        Are you looking for something specific Lyn? I've got a few SP credits, might be able to find something for you.

          Thanks Elaine, yes I have some credits too but have to buy more to activate them !
          I am trying to find family, Hugh W Scott 1910-1979 married Ida Margaret Scott 1910-1988,in 1933 ( they were cousins ). I have their parents, Hugh`s :- Thomas Wilson Scott and Mary Barr Stevenson Martin and Ida`s :- Grace Brown 1904-1976 and John Scott but want to find both their parents to go further back, thanks.

            Thanks also Clem and Vonny, I have tried familysearch and just trying other options in the hope that I won`t have to pay. I have used Scotlandspeople before and know that if you find the right records they can give you so much more info, thanks

                RE Grace Brown 1904-1976 and John Scott - is the birth date for Grace correct ?? You said daughter Ida born 1910.

                Could this be the marriage

                          One thing that is free on SP is the index of wills. The index entries are often quite detailed and can enable you to confirm identity and often other useful facts such as dates.

                              I realise the op cannot do this. If you are within reach of Glasgow or Edinburgh you can search all the records up to present day for £15 for the day

                                  Or in quite a number of other locations throughout Scotland.

                                    I did not realise that other places held ALL the records, thank you.
