Hello Jean,

Thank you very much. I assume both those dates are the burial date because I had 22 May as Janet's death. Interesting that the interpretation of her death certificate has her age at death as 81. I would say from the MI and the census that the death certificate probably says 87 and not 81.

From Death Certificate:
Death: 1879; Limekilns, Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland; widow of Alexander Anderson, letter carrier; age 81; parents John Keltie, seaman, deceased and Elizabeth Keltie M.S. Dundas, deceased; senile general debility & decay; witness Christina French, daughter.


1851
Civil parish Abercorn  Address Society
Alexander Anderson head  age 68 born Colessie Fifie  occ church officer
Janet Anderson wife  age 58  born Culross Perth

I know one researcher of this family who will be very happy we have a burial date for Alexander.

Thanks again.

Hello Jean,

I have one more ANDERSON I'd like you to check please.

Janet DANSKIN  b.  1776  Abercorn  married Alexander ANDERSON in 1807 and their 4th child was born on 4 Aug 1815  Abercorn.  Alexander remarried on 8 Nov 1818 so Janet died  between those last two dates.

Thanks.

Fred
