Lookup Request: Death 1878 (SCT/ENG)

[SLaurie]

Sorry for the vague subject line.

If it's not too ridiculous a request, I was hoping that someone with the resources could check England for the death of a Margaret Laurie who died on or about 5 November 1878 (age unknown).

Originally I thought she died in Dunscore, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, but I can't find a record anywhere so I'm no longer certain.  Besides, it seems she had assets in England.

I'm most interested in her parents names, but any & all information would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Shane

Have you checked under Lawrie, which is how the Wills Index lists her.  If she were married, I would expect the inventory to give both her maiden and married names.  Scottish ladies were invariably known by their maiden names first, married names second.

There are 5 deaths for Margaret Laurie (using the Soundex code) listed in 1878, but none in Dumfries - very odd.  There was a Margaret Ivory Lawrie of 23 Walker Street, Edinburgh who died 23 Jun 1878, according to the wills index.  There is 1 death in Dumfries in 1878 using soundex on Lawrie and Mar* as the search term for the forename.

There is the baptism of a Margaret Laurie recorded on the IGI (http://www.familysearch.org) at Dunscore on 17 June 1822, parents Andrew Laurie and Mary McGahie.
