Tracing a death Certificate
« on: Thursday 23 July 09 16:41 BST (UK) »
Help!  I am trying to track down a death certificate of Mary Naismith - she married my great grandfather George Maxwell on 7th December 1900.  Her age on the marriage certificate shows as 19, however on the 1901 Census it shows her as being 30. 

The census was in the district of Cambusnethan and they were married in the district of Rutherglen

My great grandfather then remarried in September 1902 and his status is shown as a widower but I can't seem to trace a death certificate.

On the census in 1901, it is just George and Mary - I was hoping that they had children as I hve two relatives (now deceased) who I can't seem to place and have always been led to believe that they were my nana's sisters. 
**My nana was born to George and his second wife**

I am just interested to find out what happened to his first wife.

I have searched Scotlands Peopel, is there anywhere else I can try.

Hi Linda

It is extremely possible that that is the correct one and the census have obviously got the age wrong.

That is the area they were living and everything else ties in.

Does it give dates and what the cause of the death was?

Where did you get the info and I can have a search myself.

Thank you so much!

It was on SP using the search words in red (above).  The search only gave one result so I used a credit (yes a whole one!) to get the information I gave you.  It costs 5 credits to view the image and I'm not that generous :-\

I am sorry Linda, I had searched the same details but couldn't get a return - on thinking about it.  I think I may have have used the name McLaren which is my grandfather's name, so I think I may have got mixed up.

Also, I was looking for someone who was at least 30.

IF I can refund you anyway, I will.

Thanks again!
