Newspaper look up please
« on: Monday 23 July 07 11:29 BST (UK) »
If someone has a few minutes to spare when they visit Libindx could they look up a birth/death in the Northern Scott.

I have a William Smith who was born in 1900.  He died at 9 weeks old on 23th March 1900.  He died in Old Monkland but his mother was from Urquhart, Morayshire.  I wondered if there had been a notice of birth and death in the Northern Scott.  I am hoping it might say where he is buried.  He is mentioned on the family stone in Elgin.  I have tried the authorities who would have dealt with Old Monkland but unfortunately they could not find anything.

Thanks

libindx online has the following info:

Reference No.: NM253836
WILLIAM SMITH BORN c. MAR 1900 DIED c. MAR 1900 - it gives his age at death as 20 minutes? (not 9 weeks)
Father: PATRICK INKSON SMITH

it also gives a parish register reference number but i have no idea what that might refer to...
Parish Register: MF C Rh1 (C595)

i hope it might provide a clue for you.

kind regards,
Lorna.

First of all apologies for not thanking you sooner.  I had missed your reply.

I am afraid this is not the same William Smith.  I ordered his death certificate.  His father was William Smith and his mother was Isabella McKenzie.

Thanks anyway.

Parish Register: MF C Rh1 (C595)

It's the Moray Heritage Centre system of cataloguing information

MF means it's a microfilm
C means it contains burial records
Rh means it refers to somewhere in the parish of Rathven
1 means it is the first film of this set
(C595) means that the person indexed is in Section C, lair no 595, of the burial ground.

I would need to look at the film to be sure which burial ground, but it is probably the main cemetery at Buckie.

If your William isn't in LIBINDX I believe it means that there wasn't an obit in the Northern Scot, because as far as I know the NS has been indexed for that year.
