Not found on FreeBMD which has coverage for the 1970s. Can you check your source information and repost?
Ray

Do you have his date of birth,by 1972,if that info was known it was included in the death indexes.

One thing BA on the 1921 Scottish census means Both parents alive. Nothing about adoption.


Dorrie

I agree with Dorrie, according to the Scotland's People 1921 census returns page,the following is true.

https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/guides/record-guides/census-returns#Household-returns-1921-census

Marriage/Orphanhood

BA - Both parents alive
FD - Father dead
MD - Mother dead
BD - Both parents dead

The Common Room / Re: Help determining a Birth date range

My mother in law died early in 1997 aged 79.
Her sister (Irish!) told everyone that she was 80,as she would have been that age in the August.
So the remembrance cards that were printed said she was 80.
Don't trust ages until you've seen a birth cert.

Looking at the original image, as posted by ShaunJ, I think Mary Ann first attempted to sign with her new married name, Porter, when she should have signed Wicks (which she then added). This was a mistake occasionally made by brides. In this case there appears to be a smudge around the name, which may be an attempt to erase it.

My thoughts exactly............cos I did it myself in 1973 !!!

Technical Help / Re: Message boards missing on Ancestry

Bit harsh, Biggles.
It's more the lack of response/gratitude from many of the OPs on those boards that deters some of us from helping them nowadays.
A lot of the zero reply posts are of the kind that are unlikely to get much of a response anywhere.
There are still some wonderful people on the ancestry boards.

And don't forget one of our biggest bugbears,where you spend ages answering a query.Only to find an over zealous moderator has moved it to another board,never to be seen or found again. ;D
