Hi Sandy,

Using the custom search page and only entering dad and mum's names in full
, I got the record below in addition
to the one you have. Leaving out mum's maiden surname produces a much longer
list.

Margaret TOUGH - International Genealogical Index
Gender: F Birth: 22 Jan 1864 Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian,
Scotland

This also works on the standard search page - don't select any other options
!

Hope this helps

Dave
