Hi, Is this thread still live?

If so, I'm hoping to find an MI for a Mary Millar (or Miller) , nee Younger.
I suspect she would have died between 1848 and 1850, 1855 at the latest as no death on SP that I can find.

Hope you can help.

Thanks
Dave

My apologies Jean.  the 1851 census for her son b1848 shows he was born Linlithgow, Linlithgow.  I cannot find marriage or birth for Mary so no other clues.  I suspect she died in childbirth or soon after.

Husband remarried soon after in same area.

That is fantastic information.  You have just confirmed information that breaks down a massive brick wall.  I'm delighted and thank you so much.
Also thanks for such a speedy reply.

I owe you big time.
