Peeblesshire County Council was abolished in 1975 and Peeblesshire became part of the Borders region and Tweeddale district, the latter having the same boundaries as the pre-1975 county of Peeblesshire.
The Borders region and its four districts, including Tweeddale, were abolished in 1996, merging to form the present Scottish Borders council area.^[1]

Registration Offices

At ScotlandsPeople one can search the indexes and obtain a digital copy of the record for a small fee within minutes. However, sometimes additional help is available from local registrars. For example, proof of death and close family relationship can make more recent records available that would otherwise be restricted by privacy laws.
