Reading back through your old William Grimshaw thread, Ellen's birthplace is shown as Wigan Lancashire on the 1861 census. And the William Grimshaw (sr) / Ellen Calland marriage was 1844 at All Saints, Wigan. It also says on that old thread that Lancs Online Parish Clerks had transcribed that marriage and it was 11 Mar 1844 with Ellen age 21, spinster, of Ince, father William Calland, collier.

On the 1871 census Ellen's birthplace is also Wigan Lancashire. So I'm not sure why you're looking for her birth in Scotland?

Anyway, to answer your question, no, the child's birth cert won't show the parents' ages. But the marriages and the census entries suggest she was born about 1823. I'll have a quick look for a baptism before Dr Who starts...
