can anyone help...my great great grandfather was Colin White(sometimes whyte), he married Flora MacAulay and had 4 children; Mary(see holm mill),
Elizabeth, Hugh and Jessie.
Later he married Ann Finlayson and had a few more children...
Colin was born 5.4.1817 in knockbain and baptised in Munlochy
Flora was born 23.3.1824 in Kintail....But I cannot find any record of Flora MacAulay's death...can anyone help?

Hi
Later he married Ann Finlayson
IGI shows marriage 22.12.1861
IGI shows child Jessie b 29.4.1858 so presumably Flora died between 1858 - 1861
I'm not familiar with Scotlands People but does it allow partial searches?
If so - try searching under flora whi** or why** or just under Flora between the dates above

thanks........ but i have tried scotlandspeople...and been into inverness records...also tried different spellings but just come up blank each time... :(
what i want to know is if she died naturally...with help or he just left her! its almost like she just disappeared :-\

If he re-married in 1861 - have you checked the entry to see if he is shown as a widower. Jessie was born in Ross and Cromarty - did Flora die there (possibly in childbirth)

Hi :)
The cert says that she died of 'probably cancer of the stomach' :(
I put in an SP search for a Wh*te, Fl, wide age range, for years 1858-1861, All Scotland. She was the only one.
PM me your e-mail and I'll send you what I have :)
