Indeed it is a thought Frances. It serves to show that we all probably have a great deal of knowledge and information stored in our brains about our records which we don't access. I needed to look for the certificate to remind me that the child died in April 1855 at less than a year old. It seems I dismissed purchasing the birth record. I had the date of birth which I found in IGI, which is a "Register" entry. There is a strong possibility the parents did not marry and/or the date is not on the certificate.
I find numerous records where David CAMPBELL, (the father) is the Informant of death to cause me to wonder if he was pre-occupied with being an unofficial Informant rather than attending to recording his own formalities. I am heading over to Scotland's People right now! Wouldnt you know, with my luck, I have to purchase more credits. ;-)

Janet just a thought if they had a child in 1855 then get the birth cert because on the birth records for 1855 date and place of parents marriage is included, that was why I bought my ggrandfathers (b1850) younger sisters birth cert as she was born March 1855 and it is the only record of the marriage, Jo Currie told me about this being on 1855 records,
