Is this person the widow of William Aitkin (variations in spelling) ?  If so,  it's possible Jane Harvey/Hervy. They married in Coldstream in 1803.  They probably had a daughter, Margaret, in 1807. Address was Rose Street then.

Waiting for a delivery so did a bit of detectiving   :)

Hi all,

Thought I was home and hosed with Derry but alas not the case.
Thanks so much for all your input, this site is a truly valuable resource for genie lover's.

Gadget the death record is for a male not female.

Thanks all

 Just to add to the confusion. I see a badly written G as the first letter.-- Barbera Garland . So Derry might just be Gerry !
