Anyone going to Scotlandpeoples centre?

[hendren]

Is there anyone going who could look up a death certificate for me, please.

It's for James Hendren, died June 1919 in Edinburgh. I am after cause of death and the names of his parents.

If anyone is going there and could spare the time to look this up for me, I would be so grateful.

I would think it could be the middle one as I know he was in his late 20s.

There is an obituary for him in the Dundee Evening Telegraph and Post (22-6-1915) and the Edinburgh Evening News (26-6-1915).

In short, he began in the South Ayrshire coalfield, played for Nithsdale Wanderers, Kilmarnock, Cowdenbeath and then Hibernian. He also spent a year or two in America. He was Hibs' centre forward. Died in the Edinburgh Infirmary of pneumonia. Left a widow and two children. Each paper has a photograph of him.
