Hi , welcome to RootsChat  :)

The Scotlandspeople website has a death for a Mary Elliot(other surname McCormick) 1968 Kirkconnel
, Dumfries , birth year c1890

It looks like the 1967 death for James Elliot was also Kirkconnel , Dumfries.

The latest birth records available online at SP are 1913.

For more modern record searches MonicaL has kindly given this advice on previous posts -

As you are aware, this is a really hard period to research in as the records you need are not in the main available on line. Also, given that you are looking for descendants through the 20th Century it also difficult to do this through the main open forum of RootsChat as potentially people may still be alive which is contrary to RC's policy.

Unless someone recognises this family as their own and is able to contact you via the Private Messaging (PMs) service, it will be hard to progress this for you  :-\

Are you based in Scotland? If so, and near to Edinburgh or Glasgow, you could consider having a day or so at the dedicated Genealogy Centres there where you can view more modern BMDs on line (past the cut offs for viewing images through Scotlands People).

Monica  :)

The http://www.mundia.com/gb website has 2 people with this family.

If you sign up perhaps you could contact them for more information.
