There are some newspaper reports of James' death. I'm not sure if you've read them but if not, I can send you a copy of one from the Dundee Advertiser;

Excerpt - I won't put up all the details:

Quote
Dundee Advertiser 20 July 1896

A Prisoner Commits Suicide
On Friday forenoon the Dumbarton Burgh Police apprehended a man named James Law, labourer, 70 Church Street, on a charge of being drunk and incapable. He was locked up in the cells and visited from time to time. About eight o'clock in the evening it was discovered that the man was dead.


Let me know if you'd like the piece.

Aye mair questions than answers in a world where the past was a different place - that cannae be revisited!

Family surnames being researched ...
Crawford, Neilson, Lindsay, Reekie, Davidson
Drummond, Laing, Pearson, Tulloch ... will do for starters but there's a whole lot more!

Just to add a bit more to this, I've been to SP this week  :) and now have transcripts of the Deaths for daughter Martha (unmarried) on 1 Apr 1891 at 62 Reid Street, Rutherglen, Lanarkshire and Catherine (widow of William McGinty) on 25 Sep 1976 in the Belvidere Hospital, Glasgow.

Still nothing for daughter Maggie/Margaret born abt. 1893 in England

Regards
