Post by mylife » Fri Sep 05, 2008 1:10 pm

Hi All :D

Does anyone know were you can find online death records before 1855 SP only do them from 1855.

Thanks Julie :D

Hi Julie,

Nowhere online, as the IGI is births (batptisms) and marriages (proclamations of banns) only. The deaths are on the OPR microfilms, and are planned to appear on ScotlandsPeople at some time, but no date has been given yet.

All the best,

AndrewP

You can also order microfilms of the OPRs from your local LDS family history centre. If they do not have it in stock it costs £2.70 to order...one of the best value family history resources I know of! :D
