This is my first post so excuse me if I am not doing it correctly
The reason you cant find a death certificate for John Simpson Dunsmore the hotel keeper is because he did not die in Scotland the following is from his probate He died in Leeds England

Hi just saw this old post about the Oak Hotel Denny.
I can tell you that in 1920s my husbands family came from Edinburgh and took over the oak Hotel.Boyle family were irish.My mother in law was born in the Oak Hotel 1926.Her grandfather owned the Oak and stables and house at back.He died around 1926 and his wife remarried and the Oak went to the new husbands family and my husbands family got nothing when it was sold years later.The family are still in Denny and hotel has now been made into flats.Marguerite.
