Scotland / Re: Scotland's People, Ancestry, FamilySearch etc: which to use?
« on: Tuesday 09 April 24 18:11 BST (UK)  »
It's as well to remember our ancestors were capable of lying through their teeth, making up what they didn't know or twisting information to make themselves look good.
I speak from experience as I have come across all of these in some of my searches so I try to find more than one source of information.

I was at the library today and out of curiosity I looked at both the sources given in libindx.

The C(O)84 refers to the card index and his age on that is 61.

There is also misc. ref. to a book published in 1883 "The Church and Churchyard of Cullen" which has a list of the gravestone inscriptions in it.  No.98 is John Spence and the age is 64.

 I think I would go with the age in the book as it was published when the stone was not so old and therefore would have been clearer.

Have you looked at

Both Margaret & James are there & I see that there is a couple of poor relief records for her which might help track where she is in 1901.
