Margaret Morrison [born c1838] married John William Starkey 15th Feb 1860 in Kinross. They had 2 children Elizabeth 1860 born Kinross and William 1862 born St Ninians Stirling. John William Starkey re married in 1866 in Kinross. I am assuming therefore that Margaret died Aug 1862- Nov 1866.
If anyone has burial index I would be grateful for a lookup on Margaret's death.
Thank you in advance, Mike

Thanks for the advice. I'll check it out next time I'm in Edinburgh at The National Archive.
Kind regards, Mike

Mike: if your Margaret Morrison was born in St Ninians Parish in 1838 to parents John Morrison and Elizabeth, nee Robertson, I'd be interested to hear of anything else you have. I have some details of that family thereafter.

This is the same family. My wife is descended from the third marriage to Christian Marshall so I have not bothered tracing ancestors further than John Morrison and Elizabeth Robertson.
My wife's aunt [who is in her 80's] was recollecting that the 2 children from this marriage [Elizabeth b1860 and William b1862] went to America. I did a little research and have been able to follow some of Elizabeth's family to America. Nothing for William though. I am happy to pass this information along if you are interested. Please contact me personally if so.
Regards, Mike
