Hi
I got copy of a 1953 Huntly death registration from Scotland's People.
There is an annotation in the left margin, along with an annotation above the signature of the informant. Unfortunately the annotations are unreadable on the digitised copy - and I think these annotations are vital for my research!
Does anyone know where the original of this record is kept, or how I could contact someone who could view the original record, to see if it is any clearer?
I'd appreciate any help/advice
many thanks

Hi rusheens,
I believe you'll find the original documents in New Register House in Edinburgh.
The notation could be a reference to an RCE (Register of Corrected Entries)...if it is, when you're in the viewed image section there is normally a red button you can click on (it costs 2 additional credits) that may provide more valuable information, then again, you might not find out anything more than what's on the DC.
or...
It could simply be a clerical error with the correction made to the signature.
Since our Gallery isn't yet up and running, and if no-one else has already offered, you can email it to me and I'll have a look.
Regards,
Anne H

Re: original death registration record for Huntly in 1953?
I would think the annotation in the left hand margin will be a RCE referring to the signature to the signature of the informant.rusheens wrote:Hi

If you send a contact form to SP it should be referred to GROS who can view the original document.
