Interesting, thanks for clarifying that. The extract they provided appears to be the conclusion of the FAI.

Scotland / Re: Death record?
« on: Tuesday 04 March 25 13:28 GMT (UK) »
Hi all, I managed to resolve the mystery of the missing record. Register House in Edinburgh acknowledged the error in their transcript and have located and uploaded the correct death certificate to Scotland's People (see attached).
It transpires that Margaret Raeburn (nee Neilson) died on 26/03/1930 from involvement in motor accident. Register House also provided me with findings of the inquest that sadly revealed she was knocked down by a motor van. It appears the incident happened between 1-2 months before her death.
Does anyone have access to the newspaper records? If possible I would like to find out please if the incident was reported in any local news?

Thanks all, great guidance and information. I purchased the Scotland's People record for Margaret Raeburn, age 76 (m.s. McBride) however I discovered that none of the 3 individuals named on the certificate was Margaret Raeburn - it appears the scanned image does not actually match the name in the header so I've reported the issue to the National Records of Scotland office - hopefully they can locate the correct certificate and re-scan the image. Usually they handle requests quite promptly.

Hi SkyeSpotter, I've seen the mother's maiden name, Duncan on a couple of different documents so I'm fairly sure. I've seen another family tree which notes the death year as 1930 but I've not been able to prove as there was no source cited. Unless the entry that you found is the correct person but maybe the informant provided the name McBride incorrectly. The 1861 census shows Robert and Helen as parents to Margaret and Janet and a son whose name is unfortunately not legible.

Scotland / Death record?

Hi, issue locating death record for:
Margaret Raeburn (formerly Neilson), born: approx 1854 in Glasgow/Lanarkshire (census 1921 says birthplace Chapelhall, she is aged 67 in 1921), marriage: 25/10/1872 at Rutherglen, Glasgow to William Raeburn. William Raeburn b. approx 1852 and d.1919 aged 67. They had several children.
Her parents are noted as Robert Neilson and Helen Duncan on the marriage record.
The family lived around Bridgeton/Dalmarnock in Glasgow. I have a photograph of Margaret in 1925 so I believe she died after this date. Would like to find her death record if possible?

Fantastic! Looks highly plausible that it's them, aside from their approx age, everything else seems to match-up.
My grandmother (Patrick and Bridget's granddaughter) recalls that Patrick's parents 'disapproved' of him marrying Bridget and that was apparently why they eloped in New York - possibly they discovered she was pregnant outside of marriage. They were both from the Ballina area of County Mayo but not sure how closely related they would have been to one another. I also know that their first child Patrick McLoughlin was born in 1901 (day/month unknown) in Glasgow Scotland and their second child Catherine McLoughlin was born in Glasgow 1903. As for the cousin A.Goodwin - unknown, possibly a story he invented.
