Her death was reported by Duncan Grassick, nephew.
Also just found this birth, which confirms Alex Blair in Somdow and Margaret Grassick in Aultnelrich, (not living together???) I have to check if her father was farming in Aultnelrich, and make sure its the correct Margaret. It also looks to me as its another illegitimate birth.... It has been squeezed vertically in the margin.
