Hi ev,
Wow, where did that information come from! I've got the death certificate now and it's definitely the right person, although his age seems to be 10 years out. It refers to his daughter Elizabeth Gillan and his wife Mary Ann McFarlane. I was misled by the fact that I couldn't find him in the 1901 Census, so hadn't checked for his death later than that. It has also now given me the names of his parents - so I should hopefully be able to work back further.
I'm sure the death of Mary Ann is also correct as the address is consistent with the 1891 Census.
Brilliant, thanks
