JAP,
You have been very busy on my behalf, for which I thank you.
I think it just shows how fascinating and compulsive finding out about the past is. (If you've been bitten by the bug, that is!!)
What time is it in Australia? I think you are probably working late!!!

Kate,
Well, do tell us when you get some more information - it will be interesting to learn the whole story and/or to get confirmation of theories.
For world time see somewhere like:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/
Currently, my time (Australian Central Standard Time) is 8 1/2 hours ahead of British Summer Time. So noon your time was 8:30pm my time.

 Another gold star JAP 
Alexander's death in 1863 is as you thought - married to Helen D, first married to May (sic) Milne. Parents William, a farmer and Margaret Allan. Ann Whyte, daughter reported the death, doesn't get clearer than that 
I'm off on holiday for a month...so feeling gong ho with my SP credits!

Monica,
That's marvellous!! As you say, doesn't get clearer than that. 
The 1861 census details showing St Clements Street are interesting to me. I have Donald Whyte and Ann Pittendrigh, Alexander's daughter also living in St Clements Street, Aberdeen. This is in some details you sent previously.
There is also an Alexander Pittendrich aged 36, a Tailor in the 1871 census in St Clements.
Thanks for looking up the death record for Alexander which has shown the previous generation.
I appreciate you using your SP Credits for our lookups and hope you have a lovely holiday.
With best wishes,
KateW

Hello All,
Fantastic information!
I guess this lookup thread could well have its original subject line amended by the addition of COMPLETED
But Monica, you should have saved your money to spend on your yourself when you are on your holiday! My curiosity often tempts me to use my own hard-earned on SP lookups for others - but I try hard, and usually manage, to resist the temptation  Kate, you're obviously not yet addicted to this hobby or you wouldn't have been able to resist downloading various certificates 
Monica, have a really great holiday. But how will we cope without you
Regards,
JAP

Having found several birth , marriage and death records from Scotlandspeople I am now interested in finding the answer to a puzzle!
The death record in Old Machar, Aberdeen dated 26th July 1877 reported that Ann Pittendrigh Whyte died at 8 hrs 45 min AM, aged 65 years from injuries from a fall from a height of 40ft - immediate. Reported by her daughter Marjory Whyte. Signed James Valentine, Registrar.
In the Register of Corrected Entries for Old Machar dated 7th August 1877 and signed by the Procurator Fiscal then signed again on 8th August 1877 by James Valentine, Registrar and again on 13th December 1878, ........it states,
"The following report of result of a precognition has been received for the death of Ann Pittendrigh or Whyte....
about 9am of 26th July 1877.....Cause of death - injuries by throwing herself or falling from an attic window to the ground, a distance of about 40feet.  
Can anyone suggest why the Procurator Fiscal would be involved? Perhaps there would have been an inquest? Maybe they suspected foul play!!!
I wondered if Ann's death may have been reported in the Aberdeen press and if anyone could suggest where I might search for Archive press reports.

Hi Kate,
The Procurator Fiscal would have been involved because it was a sudden death.
http://www.crownoffice.gov.uk/About
It's quite likely that Ann's death would have been reported in the paper. The Local Studies library in Aberdeen hold the newspapers on microfilm and the staff there can look it up for you. Or...if you don't mind waiting, I can do it but I'm on holiday at the moment and won't be into town for a while as I'm supposed to be decorating

Hi Kate,
The Crown Office site recommended by mitchell has a comprehensive description of the role of the Procurator Fiscal.
You may also wish to go to the 'RootsChat LEXICON of Genealogical Terms and Abbreviations' on RootsChat at:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,234766.0.html
Scroll down to Procurator Fiscal and you will be referred to the entry on 'Deaths in Scotland 'which has references to RootsChat threads which discuss overlapping material on Fatal Accident Enquiries, the Procurator Fiscal, and the Register of Corrected Entries; there is also an entry in the 'Lexicon' re Precognition.

Just to let you know that I contacted the Local studies Library with my request and was emailed by the Assistant Librarian at Aberdeen City Library. She says that they would have a record of any report at that time and has very kindly offered to search for me. They will post anything they find. So here's hoping....
I see Precognition means questioning of witnesses.
The Procurator Fiscal information is interesting and I see that the intervention of the Procurator Fiscal doesn't necessarily mean the death was suspicious.

Wow, thanks Kin-getter!
What a find!! Nice to see that Pittendri(e)ghs are still searching too. There are several email addresses to contact and apparently 12 main branches of the family - this should be fun and interesting.
