Thomas McNight - parents Alexander & Mary nee Craig b 27.1 1811 birth reg Moffatt

I just searched for Thomas b 1809-1811 Dumfries

Thanks for that.  I can't find that.

I can find Thomas McKnight son of George McKnight and Agnes Weir.

Do death certificates in England around 1867 have the name of the deceased persons parents on it ?

No, only the name of the informant (who may be a relative, friend etc)

Today, Southpaw said His marriage is pre-1855 so there is nothing on Scotland's People. Nothing in Parish Registers.

Thomas McNaught married Agness Wood, 4/1/1833, Dumfries

Today, Southpaw said Thomas McKnight was married to Agnes Wood in Scotland in 1833

May I ask how do you know he married in 1833 if you can't find a marriage entry in Scotland's People

Today, Darnity said I've found Phyllis marrying Charles W Tomkins in 1938 and they are in Windsor Street in Bletchley (now Milton Keynes) when the 1939 register is taken.

Have you considered purchasing her marriage certificate to Anthony? This would give you the name and occupation of her father. With her father's name, you will be able to search for his marriage details.

In the 18th century, the letter "L" was used to represent pounds in monetary terms. For example, "L S D" stood for pounds shillings and pence. This usage was part of a system where "L" was an abbreviation for pounds, and "S" for shillings, and "D" for pence. The abbreviation "L" was often used in wills and inventories, indicating a sum of money. The "L" sign was an early form of the £ sign, which was used to denote pounds in old handwriting. This symbol was used to indicate a sum of money, and it was a common practice to place the "L" in front of a sum of money to denote its value.
