can anyone help...my great great grandfather was Colin White(sometimes whyte), he married Flora MacAulay and had 4 children; Mary(see holm mill),
Elizabeth, Hugh and Jessie.

Later he married Ann Finlayson and had a few more children...

Colin was born 5.4.1817 in knockbain and baptised in Munlochy

Flora was born 23.3.1824 in Kintail....But I cannot find any record of Flora MacAulay's death...can anyone help?

Hi

Later he married Ann Finlayson

IGI shows marriage 22.12.1861

IGI shows child Jessie b 29.4.1858 so presumably Flora died between 1858 - 1861

I'm not familiar with Scotlands People but does it allow partial searches?

If so - try searching under flora whi** or why** or just under Flora between the dates above

what i want to know is if she died naturally...with help or he just left her! its almost like she just disappeared $:-\$

If he re-married in 1861 - have you checked the entry to see if he is shown as a widower. Jessie was born in Ross and Cromarty - did Flora die there (possibly in childbirth)

Hi

The cert says that she died of 'probably cancer of the stomach'

I put in an SP search for a Wh*te, Fl, wide age range, for years 1858-1861, All Scotland. She was the only one.

PM me your e-mail and I'll send you what I have
