Hi there - Anyone have connections with the lady mentioned above.  Have limited details, think she is buried at Moy, Inverness-shire, and possibly had a connection with Wales in the 1970's.
Thank you.  :-)

Have you got a copy of her death certificate? This would tell you the names of her parents and any husbands, and her date of birth.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Hi Forfarian -

No, just have the basic details, year of death, other associated names, mothers name/maiden name not listed, prob as death is fairly recent, record wise.
Have since discovered she was married in 1947 in Lancashire/Manchester to a George Fox. Have a feeling married more than once though by number of associated names.

Well, that is your first step then.

You can order a copy on the Scotland's People web site, which will cost you about £10 or £12. www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Alternatively you could ask if anyone who is planning to visit the Scotland's People Centre would be willing to transcribe the information for you. This would be cheaper but might take longer.

Her death was registered in 1990, as you said, and her given name is indexed as Marjory not Marjorie.

Thanks for that.  Her name is added to a gravestone that one of my Family 'Shaw' is on (at Moy) so just trying to figure out the connection to him.  Its just information I was given last week so doing as much fishing online as I can.  There are 3 names on the same stone, so just deciding which copy certificate to order.  ;-)

Thanks -
Plot thickens, so thats associations with the names 1) Sheach 2) Fox (married name) 3) Bowyer 4) Cooper and 5) buried with a Shaw ?  Plus 6) it says her mothers surname is 'not permissible' ??
