Perth after John's years, does that mean he died in Perth? Sorry for the stupid question but I've concentrated looking for Janet in Dundee.

Hi Monica

No its his birthplace and the end location, Stannergate is his last know address.

Maybe Janet is down as widow Gibson?

Just done a blanket search on FreeCen for any female aged 70 - 90 under piece 282, theres a widow Gibson but aged 70. Tried all the Mrs s too!

A bit stuck now, but I think much for Annette Ellen to go on.

Also, Dundee City Council Burials Dept may be able to give further info now there are some dates, but Im not sure if they have the records of the Howff, but they do other cemeteries in Dundee and they may be able to help. I think their email is burials@dundeecity.gov.uk
There is still some headstones in the Howff (Old part), the New section was demolished to make way for a multi story car park.

Hi Monica and Julz,

Thanks to both of you for all the help with the information on the family. It has been a great help for me.
Will keep looking in the sites that you suggested and hopefully will find something.
Thanks very much for the help.
Regards Annette.

I have been told by a family member that has been to  Edinburgh (A new registry house that was opening soon )

This sounds as if someone is a little confused (you can't use a facility which isn't open yet )

What is happening is that the National Archives of Scotland (Register House) and the General Register Office for Scotland (New Register House, next door) are combining to create a Scottish Genealogy Centre taking in the existing facilities in both buildings.

Hello
I have a marriage certificate for Brisbane Australia in Sept 1844 for my ancestor David McLeod and Matilda Marshall (both born in Scotland).

 The witnesses for the ceremony are Margaret and James Kettles. I wonder If they are your relations?

Cheers Greg

Hi Greg,
Sorry for the delay in writing but with christmas and everything I put it all of until later.
I am not sure if they are but I have a friend in Queesland who is also connected to the Kettles and I have written to her about them.
Will write back with any thing that I might find.
Thanks cheers,
Annette
