Please Help With Death Certificate

There are also some Westwaters on the same page in 1841 as Christina and children 

I hadn't noticed the Westwaters as well - the plot thickens!

Legislation to prevent children being sent down the pits was introduced in 1842.

There's some stuff about that on my website, if you're interested.

Hi Hibee,

Thanks for the interesting information; I'll certainly have a read of your website.

Although the trees show her death in St Ninians, this looks to be the SP entry:

1862 - Christina Allan/Bonner, mother's maiden name Westwater, 77. in Stirling, Stirlingshire   

Haven't found her as yet on the 1861 census.

I haven't found her on the 1861 census either - I'm intrigued as to how she ended up dying in Stirling when she had lived so long in Bannockburn. I'm assuming one of her children lived there.

Maybe some clues from who reported her death?

Bannockburn is very close to Stirling.

As Monica says, the clues will be in the death cert.

Hi It must be amos then
But was thinking Amos was a man's name

Hi dobfarm,

I know; it is strange seeing it as a surname!

Hi Michelle

It was this bit that threw me

Andrew Allan, Coal Miner, widower of Clementina? Amos
=Mrs Cementina Amos Allan wife of Andrew (Widower)
Thus christian name Amos

[Flickgirl]

Ah I see dobfarm - yes Clementina Amos Allan with Amos as a female middle name would be strange (unfortunately she named one of her daughters exactly that and her son also named his daughter that!)

Hi Gadget,

Yes I know Bannockburn is very close to Stirling - I'm just intrigued as to what took her away from Bannockburn or more specifically which relatives she went to.

The clue certainly is in the death certificate; I have now got it but it's harder to decipher than this one was!!  I think I'll start a new deciphering thread for it to be honest.

Regards

Michelle
