Mary Jessie Cowie and James Sutherland Smith

[Gregyboy]

I recently bought credits on ScotlandsPeople so I was able to find many searches on my family tree. One thing I was stuck on though, is the children of my great-great-grandfathers sister, Mary Jessie Cowie.
She was born 27/3/1881 to William Cowie and Anne Coull, in 80 Seatown, Buckie, Banffshire, Scotland.
She married a man called James Sutherland Smith in West Church, Buckie on 27/3/1907 (her birthday) Her mother died in 1909 and her father in 1911.
Mary Jessie Cowie died of Heart Trouble on 27/2/1951, aged 69 years old. Her husband died 23/3/1949, so she was widowed. When I got her death certificate, I forgot to see who registered it, as it may have been one of her children. If I presume she had none, and then I find out she does have children, then I will have to erase things and fill her children in.
I would be grateful if anyone could find children born to her. Her marriage was registered in Rathven, so it is more than likely her children may be in the Banffshire district.

If you downloaded the cert from Scotland's People it will be in your viewed images and you can go in and view it again, as often as you like.

I don't understand why you would have to erase your data and start again if you find she had children (which is likely), surely you would just add them to the family in whatever family tree software you are using?

Moray Libindx has your Mary Jessie Cowie, ref NM192346. According to them she died on 27/02/1950 and is buried at Rv(N)103 - Rathven New Cemetery (Burnside Cemetery) with her husband whose Moray Libindx ref is NM189077.

Smith is a very common name, I myself have dozens of them in my tree from Banff. It would cost anybody a small fortune to go looking for any children on Scotland's People, in any event the latest date you can download births from SP is 1909 so it is highly unlikely you will find any unless you visit the records office in person (GROS in Edinburgh).

I do use a software online, but I also have a written copy which I am currently doing, so if she had children I would have to include them. I actually visited it back in August, although I was studying another part of my tree then.

I have a feeling we have already communicated about this, but I have all the details in my tree about James and Mary's children, David and Anna.
