No he only recently died

Never mind, don't get it - have coorected loads of census stuff but this is beyond me.
No matter!

Looks like he may not have been registered . Your mum and her twin were done late so maybe they didnt register Victor and left too late as there was a fine for non or late registration

I was told he was born at home and never registered but I did put that he wasn't registered in my original post, he must have somehow got himself registered because they owned 2 house one here and 1 in spain so surely he would have had to prove citizenship or something

Dea - a couple of years ago I sent a correction for the 1861 Scottish census to Ancestry. For parish # 169, they've transcribed the "Civil parish" as Aberlour, whereas it is Aberdour - just 1800+ mistranscriptions. They told me at the time they'ld put it on the pile and check it when they got round to it.

Sylvia - some people can't get a b.cert - if they weren't rego'ed at the time, and they can't locate a suitable informant 60 y later, then they can't get rego'ed. The requirement for a passport is citizenship, not having that of having a b.cert. Suppose someone wanted British a passport in say 1924. There would be plenty of people born in various parts of the Empire that would have difficulty producing a b.cert - Scotland only introduced civil registration in 1855, N. Ireland 1864, British subjects living in Canada's NWT were entitled to a British passport, but civil registration would only be introduced the year after they were born.
