Retrieving SP images using GROS codes?

Post by **paddyscar** » Fri Mar 17, 2006 1:27 am

Is it possible to retrieve an image from Scotlandspeople without first doing a name search? I have been given some GROS codes for some births & deaths which require confirmation of the parents.

In other words, can I look at these images using 5 credits rather than 6?
If so, how? I've not been able to locate an answer on the site.

Thanks, Frances

Hi Frances

Sorry but the answer is no. If you know the reference number then you can figure out the district and this will help you narrow up the field of results especially if a common surname like MORRISON in Glasgow City for example (one of my favs!) Knowing the exact number will make quick work of finding the right one to view....but unfortunately it won't save you a credit

If you've got a lot of previous searches and are working with a limited number of surnames you sometimes can get lucky and find a previous search that includes the record you'd like to view....but that can also be quite time consuming to track down....

Best wishes
Jean

I think I knew deep inside, but just thought there might be a chance.

Thanks, Jean.
