Newspaper Lookup Pls - McKinlay
« on: Tuesday 09 June 15 19:49 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Hoping a kind person might look up an article on a drowning for me please.  Mrs Margaret McKinlay of Peggy's Mill Road, Haymarket, City of Edinburgh, died 22 Feb 1958, drowned in the River Almond.  She was last seen several days before & was the widow of Andrew McKinlay (a retired clerk with the Air Ministry).
Thankyou in advance Dee  :)

Unfortunately the Scotsman online only goes to 1950, and I can't imagine this being reported in any of the papers that are available online.
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.
