Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Jane Shirran (Gordon) Mother's maiden name- help!
« on: Tuesday 21 June 22 17:02 BST (UK)  »
Wondering if anyone can help...

This is the death cert for Jane Shirran(Gordon), I can't tell what her mother's maiden name is, SP says it is Charteris but I can't find anything to confirm this.


In general struggling with this side of the family so hopefully the maiden name will help.

(A bonus would be if anyone can decipher what the cause of death for her was.)

Thank you!

Banffshire / George Fordyce Abt 1864 - 1936 - No birth or marriage record
« on: Saturday 11 June 22 15:50 BST (UK)  »
I have been looking into to Fordyce side of the family after receiving a large family tree.
My 2nd Great-Grandfather is George Fordyce, Census from 1901 says he was born in Cullen about 1864. It also states he is married to Helen Beattie and has been for about 20 years, I can't find records on either. Based on his birth date, I found a death cert from 1936 with father listed as Peter Fordyce (as expected) but his is mother is listed as Jane Wilson and not Isabella McEwen (Peter's Wife from 1863).

I'm not sure if this is just an error on the death cert. With his birth and marriage not on Scotland's People, it makes me think they both might be out of Scotland.

Does anyone have an information on this family?

Thank you!
