Can anyone check Scottish records for me? I am looking for a Martin Morrison who immigrated before 1884 to the US. He was single and possibly born around 1855 or 1860 perhaps, married a Norwegian woman named Anna and had a son named Edgar Peter Morrison. Lived in Michigan and possibly Minnesota.

You can check the recorsd yourself by going to the free partial indexes on Family Search www.familysearch.org or the offical site at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk (pay per view but you will see the real records and can download to your PC)

I did not find anything on familysearch.org but the other site will probably be helpful but it's a little expensive! Anyhow, thank u so much.

Its not actually that expensive when you consider how much it would be to buy a hard copy fo the records.

The secret is to plan what you are going to do first so you don't waste any credits. If you have Ancestry then have a look for him on the census first and see if you can narrow down his dates. If you have his marriage cert that should at least tell you his age and father's name etc.

Have fun!

I am working on trying to locate the marriage cert for Edgar as well as a birth cert so I can get a little more info.

Thanks for your help.

If Martin Morrison was born with the name William Martin Morrison (and there is someone of that name born at Banff on Scotlands People), then perhaps you should be looking for him as William Morrison, or William Martin Morrison. Perhaps you could find his Naturalization record trying William Morrison. It's worth a try.
