Scottish Records

Does anyone have access to the Scottish Ancestry web site please. I know the names of my Aunt and Uncle and age of my Aunt.

Aunt, Violet Dow was born in Essex but went to Glasgow to marry her Air Force husband at the end of the war.

She was 16 [born about 1929] and pregnant hence the rush to get married sooner rather than later.

Uncle, is John Turner from Stirlingshire. He would be a couple of years older.......4 at the most I suspect.
They lived in Essex all their life, until John passed away some years ago...... but being married in Scotland it isn't on the Ancestry.co.uk web site.

I would be grateful if anyone can help please

The only Patience M Dow (registered as Patient M) was registered in 1931 in Dunmow, Essex but the mothers maiden name was Greenway...........

Craft that is an odd thing that Patience M Dow registered as the Mother Greenway??

Greenaway I thought were relatives, as in Aunt Doll and Uncle George. The same Patience is married to Upton and that most definitly is my Patience.

I am wondering if someone else went to register the birth and used the wrong "family" name? Most odd.

I will try and contact her daughter to see if she can shed any light on the subject.

Thanks for that info DD
