Renfrewshire / Peter Rice - Greenock
« on: Tuesday 01 April 14 14:45 BST (UK) »
Hi, I'm trying to trace the parents of Peter Rice born c1825 in East Greenock. I've got his marriage in 1845 but the parish records do not show his parents.
He's in the census from 1861 up until 1891, in the last one, living with his married daughter Elizabeth Gillan. He was still alive when one of his daughters got married in 1894 and must have died between 1894 and 1901. I was hoping to get his parents name from his death certificate but I can't find it in Scotland's People. I've also tried the areas that some of his family moved to, including Northern Ireland, but with no success.
Does anyone know this family or can anyone explain why there doesn't seem to be a record of his, or his wife's death?
