My great great grandfather was John Matheson born Sept 1839. It is written on his gravestone--"born in North Uist." We have the information on John and his wife Janet, and we also have the gravestone of John's father Hector Matheson who was also of North Uist.
What we are curious about, is more information on Hector and also any info on his wife Sarah. We don't know her surname. We'd appreciate any info you may have. Thanks.
I am wondering which of the couple died first......Hector or wife Sarah (which incidently has a variant name of
Marion)?
If Hector died 1st, does it not give his wife's maiden name on his death cert. & his father's name?
Similarly, does Sarah/Marion's death cert. not name her father?
