I have a family member called Thomas coady born 1876-1878 Dublin Ireland but someone on a family site found a record showing that after the war he moved to Scotland , they never told me the site or where in Scotland so I rally need the help of someone more experience, I've tried looking on various sites but I am struggling, I am trying to find maybe a death record and if maybe he got married? Any help would be appreciated.

hi is there any other info no matter how small that will help as there are a couple of Thomas coady 's born about that time Dublin one of which is in the british army records 1916

Hi
There is only one death record for a Thomas Coady in Scotland using Scotlands People. The death was in 1933 in Govan, Glasgow City, Lanarkshire. He was age 58. You can see the original image on the Scotlands People (credits only) site. It is of course possible that his surname has been misrecorded. Using soundex comes up with far more hits. Anyway if he died in Scotland his death record should be on Scotlands People .

That's brilliant thank you . Is soundex a free site or even a bit cheaper than the other site do you know? Don't fancy laying £7 to view just the one record hehe
-
No what I meant by soundex is that it is one of the buttons available when searching on Scotlands People. I am afraid that Scotlands People is the only site for Scottish death records.

For £7 you will be able to check for marriage records as well as death records
Both Marriage and death records will give his parents names as well as the place and cause of death and also the name of the person who registered the death.
You should also have enough credits left to check if he had children
Not bad for £7

You should be able to view up to 5 records for your £7.
Just be glad that you are looking in Scotland - if it were in England it would be £9.25 for just one record, and you'd have to send away and wait for it to come in the post.
