	My Gt Grandfather Onslow Charles Henry Clarke was born in Edinburgh 1852. I would love to get his birth certificate but am having trouble. Can anyone suggest anything. I think his father was in the army so must have been stationed in Edinburgh and not lived there. jenny

	It is possible that his birth wasn't registered - it wasn't compulsary until 1875. Sam x

	In Scotland the Statuatory Birth Registration didn't start until 1855 so there would only be a christining

	Thankyou both that is very interesting. I suppose i would have to know the name of the church to find out a christning. jenny

	Parish Records are listed in the IGI on Family Search and Scotlands People. I couldn't see him on either.
