William Smith - brick wall in my tree

I assume you have looked at the death of Margaret Kellochan in Lanarkshire.

Would this be the Margaret in Dennistoun who died in 1900 age 64?

There's this one in Brodick, Isle of Bute.

But there is also a marriage in Bute so it may not be your Margaret.

Thanks for the "blue sky" thinking. I guess anything is possible when there aren't any facts!

For Jane Smith - her mother's name was Catherine Kellochan, husband was Anthony Smith. I don't think she's a match unless her mother is related to my GG's mother.

For Margaret Kellochan whose death was listed in Dennistoun in 1900 - for some reason, the deceased is actually her daughter, Margaret McDonald, so I'm not sure why Scotland's People has it indexed for her mother. Margaret Kellochan is listed as deceased on the death certificate, with husband John Kellochan (also deceased). Margaret Kellochan's maiden name was Paton, so to me it's an unlikely match unless John was somehow related to my GG's mother.

Deaths of married women are indexed on SP by their maiden surnames as well as by their married surnames.
