Maybe he wasn't born exactly in 1964 ?

hi Paul thank you so much for looking hes my cousins partner and she told me his dob but she also said he was 50 ?? so was confused with that year should be 1961??

Paul

This is from Scotland';s People, so you can order a copy of his Birth Certificate if you wish.

No other Colin Mitchell Brown born in Scotland in 1960 or 1961 apart from this one, so this is almost certainly him.

If you join Ancestral Scotland (http://www.ancestralscotland.com/), you immediately get 10 free credits to Scotlands People.

For recent certificates, eg 1960 ones, you have to order a paper copy, I think. Older ones you can get immediately online for 5 credits.

Recent certificates that you order online go into your "Shopping Basket" and it costs £10 per copy.
