Scotland / Re: Scotland's People - Service Returns Death Cert.

Neale - Good point as I had totally forgotten about the baby who died as he was not listed on any census.

Father James died in Australia in 1935 and listed on Death Cert as having 2 sons predecease him.  His son James died in 1905 in Scotland, and I have confirmation that all other sons were all alive after 1935, with the exception of John.
???
So surely, the two dead sons before 1935 were Samuel and James. ?

Rosie - Samuel Hay, was the son of James & Helen (Eaton) Hay, so he would have been brother of John Hay.  As to the marriage records, I have not found anything there.  I was fairly sure the marriage listed in Kirkintilloch was not him, as I know that the family lived there in 1901 census, however, they had relocated to Govan and were living on Drive Rd in 1905.  At that point, John would have been 16 and possibly still living with his parents.  As you say, he is a difficult relative to trace.

Here is all the info that I have:

Born:  1889 Ecclesmachan, West Lothian - Parents James & Helen (Eaton) Hay.  In 1891 census - aged 2 lived at Threemiletown, West Lothian, 1901 census aged 12, lived at Shirvadyke, Kirkintilloch.  I know these are correct.  In 1910, parents and some younger siblings emigrated to Australia, as far as I know, John did not go with them at the time or later.  Father James died in Australia in 1935 and listed on Death Cert as having 2 sons predecease him.  His son James died in 1905 in Scotland, and I have confirmation that all other sons were all alive after 1935, with the exception of John.  I have no further info on John Eaton Hay, but based on his age, I am wondering if he may have been in WW1 and died then, which is why I was questioning the Service Remains info.  It is only a guess.  If anyone can help with any additional info I would be appreciative.

Thanks for the info.  Unfortunately, not really enough to be able to narrow my search.

Scotland / Scotland's People - Service Returns Death Cert.

Wondering what type of info I can get from a death certificate labeled Service Returns.  The person I am researching is named John Hay, and I have a date range of death, but not a positive date.  I am seeing quite a few death certificates labeled Service Returns, but I don't want to spend credits to view if I will not receive any concrete info.  These don't seem to list the mother's maiden name to narrow down the search.  Will there be birth date /place info listed in this document?

I have a copy of the 1871 census, which shows this family as schedule 209 living at Coopers Land/Campbell Land.  Schedule 210 and 211 are duplicates for other families.  Schedule 212 shows as The Manse Main St. (Bonhill Parish Church).  Does this mean that Coopers/Campbell land would be adjacent to Main St?
