Dublin / Re: Patrick Long or Laing
« on: Friday 04 August 17 22:19 BST (UK)  »
Hi Jen,

It looks like we have a few ancestors in common. I'm new at this, but I believe Patrick Long/Laing also went by the name Peter Long/Laing and his wife Mary Horan also went by the surname Horne/Horn.

On Mary's death record, it says she was the widow of "Peter Long" and her parents are listed as "Michael Horne" and "Ann Horne, maiden surname Dillen." The death record was signed by their son "Daniel Long" who was born in Carnock, Fife in 1859.

My records indicate that both Peter & Mary died in the 1890's in Lochee, Angus, Scotland (Peter in 1891 and Mary in 1897). I have the records along with some other info regarding Peter if you would like.

Let me know if this info sounds accurate to you because I am a bit thrown off by all the name variations. Hopefully it makes sense and we can compare notes. We could also compare our findings on the Hopper/McGowan/McQueen family as I have some of their records as well.

Thanks

Scotland / Re: Death from coal gas poisoning

Hi Jang,
I just downloaded my ancestors death record from the ScotlandPeople's website and learned that she died from Coal Gas Poisoning in the 1920's. There was an additional document linked to the first one that indicated that the cause of death was Suicide by Coal Gas Poisoning. If you are downloading from ScotlandsPeople, make sure to check if any corrections were made because they can be easy to miss. If there are any corrections, then above the document you are viewing, it will say
