nellie/helen black
« on: Saturday 16 April 16 15:16 BST (UK) »
Agnes Shepherd died on 13.10.1915 at Arbroath.  Her death was registered by her sister Nellie Black who was an 'inmate' on the certificate.
Nellie /Helen had married David Black, a vans man, from Kircaldy on 6.4.1914. The marriage was at Arbroath.
I can't find a death certificate for this Nellie/Helen Black on Scotlandspeople.
If I can find the certificate it might give me some information as to what became of her.
thanks
margaret

When was Helen born and what was her mother's maiden surname ?
There is a death for a Helen Steel Black / Shepherd 1983 Arbroath Angus , born c1891.

Too recent to view online but the mother's maiden surname may help confirm.
