There is only one death on SP in the modern death indexes...

1961 MCCUSKER BRIDGET Not Permissible THOMSON F 70 DUNFERMLINE /FIFE 424/00 0560

The age would fit and so does the names.  Perhaps this is her.

Best wishes

yes the 1961 is her but having trouble trying to get her birth, the bridget mccusker born in 1891 in daziel has a bridget flynn as her mothers maiden name but on her marraige certificate  in 1913 our bridget has bridget morrison as her mother, plus her middle name was morrison   thanks for your help.

I suspect Bridget Morrison and Bridget Flynn are one and the same.  A view of the MC of John McCusker and Bridget Flynn which took place on 3 Jan 1888 in Dalziel shows Bridget's parents names to be Peter Flynn (dec'd) and Catherine Morrison previously Flynn MS Healey.  It's not uncommon for surnames to bounce around a bit when mother's remarry with young children.  Matter of fact in this case when mum Catherine dies there isn't even a mention of her prior surname of Flynn at all and that coming from son in law John McCusker!  Her DC is found indexed as this:

1907 MORRISON CATHERINE   HEALY F 56 DALZIEL /LANARK 639/00 0370
