You might want to check this death on Scotland's People
Jane Bisset 1914 Cannongate Midlothian

Some one has a marriage certificate on Ancestry which could be a possibility going by the occupation of Jane's father Andrew and both her parents being deceased.

Jane Bissett age 25 occupation domestic servant father Andrew Bissett (road surveyer )
Mother Janet ? Bisset maiden name Stewart both parents deceased
Jane married Joseph Mackay age 24 ( road contractors clerk )
16 April 1878 St George Edinburgh

1881 census they are at 52,High Street West Lothian
Jane McKay age 29 born Auchterless

1891/1901 her birth place is Aberdeen but on the 1911 census it's Auchterless they also have a son Gordon .
I would take a chance with the death certificate

I had a friend who pronounced his name, 'DooGood'

Thanks Rosie.

That does look like it is her going on the marriage and death certs. Her age is a couple of years out but still. There is only one Jane BISSET with parents Andrew BISSET and Jane STEWART. They seem to flip between BISSET and BISSETT as well.

Yes it does look a strong possibility not had much luck finding a birth yet for Gordon Mackay ..On the 1911 census it says children born 1 and 1 alive

Thanks Rosie.

That's Joseph alright.

Can't find a birth for Gordon either, anywhere. The 1891 census has him as 9 so born 1881-82. When he married in 1913 he gave his age as 26 so 1886-87.
