Title: finding a death
Post by: snowolf on Saturday 23 January 21 16:49 GMT (UK)
Hello ,
I am looking for a death  of John Young between 1862 & 1870.
I have him up to 1861 where he is aged 75 & widowed ( i have his wife's Jean Ley's death certificate).
his occupation is Road Labourer & address is Lutherbridge , Kincardineshire.
 I have a photo of a stone ( from another person) where at the bottom it states he died 1869 .
However i have looked up Scotlandspeople  over & over but cannot find him at all in that area.
I would not think him  living elsewhere ....you think he would have to be registered
any ideas  please  ??? ???.
Thankyou
Snowolf

I was wondering about that one too. I think it might be worth downloading the cert.

 :D

and Jean Laing = Jean Ley  - the son either didn't know his mother's mn or the clerk mis-heard it.

snowolf - PM me a contact e-mail and I can send you the cert :)

Looks like the son who informed
