Hi there,
I finally managed to visit Lambhill Cemetery today.  Unfortunately there is no headstone for the Blain lair No.925.  My wife and I checked other stones which had their numbers inscribed and narrowed it down. 

The attached phot is the area where the lair is located.  The small white marble plinth in the foreground is No 922, so the Blain lair would be between that stone and the tree.  Sorry the search came up blank.

You don't give a date but until 1874 entering the cause of death was not a legal requirement, but from 1874 a doctor's certificate was necessary before a death certificate could be issued. Between 1858 and 1874 the entry should indicate whether the cause had been 'certified' or 'not certified' by a medical practitioner.

Thanks Stan.  The death was 1863 so that makes sense .

The attached is from a Cornish death certificate.   Does "Child led / Not Certified"   mean she died in childbirth and the child did not survive either ?   Sorry for what mean seem a basic question, but just trying to make sure I interpret things correctly.

.... Weaver of .....

Weaver as in occupation 

Yes.   Other records show her occupation as millworker

The attached snip is from a Scottish marriage registration in 1909.  It is the column for the brides father and mothers details.    I read it as ".... Amelia Carkeet formerly ?? afterwards married to Richard Stratton, Coalminer. Dec"      The ? words look like "powerloom weaver" which would make sense, but why is her occupation appearing at all ?    It's usually only the males occupation, and the womans maiden surname.
