I thought so from the 1891 census for the family.

If you don't have a photo of the gravestone for William, you can request a free photo of it from the link above.

Thanks Monica,

It is in the Wills and Probate listing, Dawn, and it is 1946. It is the only time I can find any reference beyond his birth cert on ScotlandsPeople or Ancestry to him.

Do you know when and where he was born?

Born in Edinburgh ± 1885 so have access to his birth cert.

In what context is it listed on Ancestry?

If it's to do with probate / letters of administration, maybe it means she is confirmed as the executor / administrator of his estate?   What year was it?

It is in the Wills and Probate listing, Dawn, and it is 1946. It is the only time I can find any reference beyond his birth cert on ScotlandsPeople or Ancestry to him.

Hi Avelinghelen,

Both weddings of Charles F* Niven are on Scotland Peoples website,

1882 Charles Forbes Niven to Mary McKay at South Leith church.

1890 Charles F* Niven to Mary Isabella B Anderson at same church.

30 credits will cost £7, these 2 certificates will only cost you 11 credits, approx. £3. if you search for Charles F* Niven.

Tom

I've been looking for Mary Isabella for the last month,Tom! Thank you very much for confirming she actually did marry Charles. I will dig out my bank card again and see if it'll work.

Hi, I am in a muddle: my great-grandfather, Charles Forbes Nevin's death cert gives 2 marriages, but I can only find one online at ScotlandsPeople. It doesnt help that I've got varying names for her, but Charles' name only brings up one marriage cert! I'm in Kent and cant travel at all easily, so have to rely on online records. Where can I look next?
