Pity there was not a 1911 one for Scotland

There is one, but she isn’t on it under GOODFELLOW, or WHITE.

Does Thomas show on the Scottish 1911 census?
If not, do you or the family know what happened to him?

OP, Is this the death of Thomas in 1983?

Don't think this has been posted yet but a search on Scotland's people for 'Geraldine Goodfellow' brings up only 1 result-
GOODFELLOW GERALDINE, age 70, 1948 Falkirk dist. 479/ 580

Searching deaths for 'Geraldine White' brings up same record-
WHITE GERALDINE, age 70, 1948 Falkirk dist. 479/ 580
but also this-
WHITE GERALDINE GOODF, age 74, mother- MILLER, 2003 Falkirk dist. 479/ 656

then under births-
WHITE GERALDINE G, 1929 Falkirk dist. 479/ 668
and marriages-
WHITE GERALDINE G to MARTIN, JAMES 1951 Falkirk dist. 479/ 197

Still very puzzling since Thomas Goodfellow's wife is called Elizabeth in 1901 and Thomas is only 60 years old-

Yet death for Isabella Goodfellow has son-in-law William Armstrong as informant-

and Isabella Goodfellow with Armstrong family in 1911-

Good finds re the Scottish records.

Although the writing is so poor, the father’s name looks more like Robert than Thomas  :-\
I have tried reading the female witness name to see if that helps to identify a 1901 entry but no.

According to the death record, Geraldine would be born abt 1878.

There is:
Mary Jane Goodfellow b 1878 with parents Robert and Margaret Goodfellow (Lucas)
Mary Jane Goodfellow b 1880 with parents Robert and Annie (Lucas)

I can’t see a death 1878-1880.
Is the first just a mistake re mother’s first name?

Family tree I found says Geraldine was Maggie's half-sister.

Falkirk Herald, 24 Dec.1949: WHITE. —In loving memory of our dear mother Geraldine Goodfellow, who died 21st December, 1948. We lost a mother with a heart of gold; The loss to us can never told; Forget her...
Same paper, following day: WHITE. At Falkirk Royal Infirmary, on 21st December, 1948, Geraldine Goodfellow White.

Scottish death certificate should list parents so might be next step. I've checked births for Ireland under Goodfellow (no first name), Geraldine (no surname), etc. without finding anything. Wonder if she was 'adopted' thus registered under another name  :-\
