I have been busy with great success ,with all the links above from the help you have all given me in this post in the past , ,I now have a link to a wedding photo I have here with everyones first name on it and the date 1950,with all the help you have given me in the past ,I have now traced all the names on the photo to the cumiskey side of the family ,who are the uncle and cousins of Elizabeth Brown Kerr ,its lovely to link up faces to photos ,I have lots more photos ,but no idea who's who ,this is the 3rd one I have names to now and I have put them on their profiles.sometimes the surname of Comiskey it is spelt a bit different ,but looking on censors and names they are all the same ,it is just Beatrice that's a bit odd as on some censors they have her down as Bridgett.The wedding was in Cook Illinois USA where the family moved too.I cant see a link in the message here to share the photo with you all ,but it is on my tree ,and they all have it on their profile photos ,now to try and see if I can link a few more photos to family on here ,thank you all once again best wishes sandra

I think it was only her parents names and place of birth that Sandra was looking for.

ArgyllGran Report 18 Oct 2022 18:05

If she was still living in Scotland in 1939, then obviously she won't be on the 1939 Register for England and Wales.

The Scottish 1939 Register isn't searchable like the English one.
However, if you get a copy of her death cert, you can apply for a copy of her entry in the Scottish 1939 Register, for a fee of £15.

Instructions and info here:
https://tinyurl.com/2a9y5pa2

Note that it will only be her record, and won't include the names of anyone else in the household.

1939 was not a census, so the info it holds is not the same
