[ksyoung]

Hi Donna,
I have a person whose death I have been trying to track down:
Hugh Parker, death betw 1841 and 1851. He is in the 1841 census: Bogflat Stewarton age 70
but not in the 1851 census.

Thanks so much if you can find the time for this.

Thanks so much for looking, Donna. As you said, none of the ages match to be my Hugh Parker, but at least I can cross this particular record source off my list of records to try. I notice that most of the deaths are of chilldren. I wonder if that reflects the true proportion of child to adult deaths in those days, or that a child's death was more likely to be noted in the parish records than an adult's death.

Dear Donna
Could you check your book and see if you have an entry for Agnes Fisher, who died between 1851 and 1854, we think in St. Quivox or Wallacetown.

Her maiden name was Wren or Rann, so it may be under that.  her husband was John Fisher.

Thanks
Janice
