Missing death certificate(Completed).
« on: Wednesday 02 September 20 19:41 BST (UK) »
Struggling to locate a death certificate and I'm looking for suggestions on where else to look.

David Thomson b1821 Kennoway
He appears in the 1861 census living at Pettycur Road, Kinghorn with wife (Elizabeth McArthur) and 3 sons and 3 daughters.
In 1869 there is a birth certificate for Andrew Thomson/McArthur. Mother is listed as Elizabeth Thomson, widow of David Thomson. Son is illegitimate.
In 1870, Elizabeth marries Peter McEwen and they both appear on the 1871 census as well as two children born in 1863 and 1865, both with last name Thomson.
I'm thinking that David died between 1861 and 1866 but I can't find a record.

Any help would be appreciated.

Found it! Took another look at different spellings of Thomson and widened the window around his birthdate. Onto the next challenge.
