finding death certificate
« on: Monday 21 October 19 15:35 BST (UK) »
Hi, I have drawn a blank trying to find a death registration/certificate for my grandfather born in Glasgow, Scotland, I have his birth certificate (dated 1892) and marriage certificate which is (dated 1919 )
we have extensively researched all records and cannot find anything, although we have found his wife (my grandmother) , her birth and death yet cannot trace his. is name is Robert Jenkins Barr.
can anyone point us in the right direction, thanking in advance Phillip Barr.

Where were their children living? He may have moved to be near one of them later in life and been buried there.

What year was their last child born?

Do any of the children's marriage certs show him as deceased?  If so - what date is the first to show?

He might have been registered just as Robert Barr, which opens the field considerably.

There is a Robert J Barr, with a Margaret living in Glasgow in 1949.  Is that them?

Added: No?
Looks like he married Ruby Marwick Co Amer
