I am looking for the death record of Catherine Edington who married Thomas McKenzie 1814 in North Berwick, East Lothian. I have her as a widow in the 1851 census, West Fenton, Dirleton. She was born about 1793 from the census. I have not been able to find her death or parents. I have looked for census records for her children to no avail. She either remarried or died prior to the 1861 census.
I have looked on SP for a possible death with no luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Scott

Scotlands People lists the death of a Catherine McKenzie widow on 23 June 1860 at Athelstanford.
Age listed as 69 Father Thomas Erdington Labourer Deceased Mother Catherine Erdington Maiden Name Napier Deceased. Died of 8 day paralysis and the death reported by son in law Peter Horsburgh?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I am not sure how I could have missed that. I looked on SP for her death and was not able to find it. I had suspected that her parents were Thomas Edington and Catherine Napier based on names, but had nothing to prove it. Your find on SP proves it. Peter Horsburgh is husband of Margaret McKenzie. This was confirmed in the will of Alexander McKenzie (d. 1891).
