 Unfortunately the NSW BDM site https://familyhistory.bdm.nsw.gov.au/lifelink/familyhistory/search is temporarily unavailable (and very painful lately as they are supposedly upgrading it - we all prefer the old version)

				Well perhaps you already know about the Australian descendants ...? (if we are on the right track ) And really want to know about the ancestors?
 
 But I couldn't resist posting this.  It looks like Grace FARRELL lived to the age of 105 !  :D and died in 2000

 You can ask the volunteers at ryerson for a copy of the death notice (if this is relevant).

				Hi
 I have in my wife's family tree a James Allan Farrell born 1871 marrying Mary Paton Stobie born 5 July 1877 Pittencrieff Street. on 11 June 1897 in Victoria Street, Dunfermline.
 Mary died 5 October 1905 Age 32 years and they had one child David Farrell born 1901 which I picked up on Ancestry - Miles family tree.
 Mary's parents David Stobie and Elizabeth Watters - David's parents were John Stobie and Mary Paton
 Although not a direct line of my wife's family David Stobie was a brother to a John Stobie who married an Elizabeth Sinclair who were my wife's Gt Grandparents.
 David and John were one of 8 children another brother George married a Jane Watters born 1843 died 8 Aug 1889 who was Elizabeth's sister. George and Jane also had a Mary Paton Stobie born 16 September 1874 who married George Spowart Aitken on the 7 Jan 1898.
 Hope this is of interest.
 I am also researching apart from Stobie, Moyes, Carnegie
 Cheers
