The History Research Centre does not hold information on baptisms, marriages or burials after 1855 or Census records after 1861. For these sources you should contact New Register House, Princes St, Edinburgh. If you have access to the internet, try the Scotlands People online site or the Origins database. A wider range of local newspapers is held by Falkirk Libraries and these are available in local libraries on microfilm Local libraries also have more Census records on microfilm and have other family history sources. The local authority records for Stirling County and Central Region are held at Stirling Council Archives. This means that if your family lived in Polmont, Slamannan or other parts of Stirling County (rather than in one of the four burghs) you will find the relevant valuation rolls and any electoral rolls in Stirling Council Archives.
