1861 lookup - Alva

[BobtheBee]

Hi,

My Gt Gt Grandfather Robert Jamieson married Christina Boyd in Stirling on 23/11/1845. She died in November 1868 of Typhoid fever.

Can anyone look her up in the 1861 please, as I can't find her before the wedding, and don't know where she was born or who her parents were.

Thanks, Bob.
