RCEs

[Irishseeker]

I have the death cert for my gggrandfather 1882 and now understand how to read the RCE in timeline,(Scotlands people,)but now they are telling me there are no matches for the death.Can someone tell me where I go next Obviously I found the cert.image on someone elses site but need to procure it for myself.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

Does the death record have an RCE recorded next to it or does it apply to one of the other two records ? (you'll only get this from the actual image) If it's the one relating to your gt gt grandfather, go to the top of the screen and click on the RCE button and you will see a copy. If there is no RCE next to his death entry on the actual image then don't as it won't apply to his record and is a waste of credits.

All the death records for Scotland are on Scotland's People so if he died in Scotland then it will  there.  Perhaps you could post the details of the death and we can establish whether there is a record or not?

What was his usual address?

What county was the death registered?

[tootsiepie]

It is there, and it's the only one for 1882 in whole of Scotland.   Perhaps you mixed up the surname and christian name
On Google map, search Yett Road, Lanarkshire.    To the N.E. of this on the map, you will see Legbrannock Rd, going over water to join Church street.  Go to street view on the water and you will see the bridge.    A slight stumble and you would be over the wall.

thanks toots.I found the bridge and see what you mean.10-11pm,would have been pretty dark,coming home from the pit or maybe pub,don't know yet.He wasn't found until the following day around 4pm.Very sad. I tried again today,for the death cert. but no luck.I have found that if I am low on credits,searches often come up negative.But I will keep trying again thank you for your input,I am so very grateful,just seeing the bridge makes me feel something very familial.thank you Biddy

Would Legbrannock be in New Monkland at that time?

[tootsiepie]

The death was registered in the Landward of New Monkland.  His address was Crosshead, or Wester Muirhead .  Legbranock was in Bothwell at that time.  Now I'm wondering if I found the right Yett Bridge.

 I also have an address of Legbranock in 1855 which was registered in Holytown in the Parish of Bothwell.

I think it's old map time.
