The basic information is shown on Scotland’s People (see my previous post).  Sorry about mentioning the £10 – forgot that Ethel died after 1957.

Had Ethel died pre 1957, you could have seen the actual image of her death cert and there is so much more info on a Scottish BMD than those of England. 

The Scottish death cert will show:

both her maiden and married name,
if married it will show her husband’s name, or “widow of”,
when and where she died, including the time of death,
her age, 
her usual residence,
parents names, including her mother’s maiden, if known by the informant, and if parents were deceased,
her father’s occupation,
her cause of death, 
the informant and the informants qualification/relationship to her (son/daughter/neighbour etc) as well as perhaps their address.

You might be lucky and find that the informant’s details give you a clue as to where to search next.

So well worth the £13.

PS I wish the English certs would show half as much info!!

Hi   I have applied for a copy of Ethel's Death Certificate.  Hopefully the contents may lead me to Freda.   Thanks for your help.   What a wonderful site!

Once we've found Ethel, maybe we can find Freda!!

Thanks for your replies.  I am now fairly confident that Freda must have got married in Scotland.  In addition to getting Ethel's Death Certificate I have also paid for a 10 year marriage search to be done on Freda.  Thanks to this website I have made an enormous amount of progress in less than 5 days.  Kind Regards.

Hi  Here is an update.  Today I have received a copy of ETHEL'S death certificate and it is the person I am looking for.  ETHEL was married to DONALD BROWN ADAM and lived at 1448 Gallowgate, Glasgow G31 4ST.  Donald registered her death.   I understand that a DONALD BROWN ADAM passed away during 2003 - maybe this could be him.  A 10 year marriage search on FREDA up until 1950 has not produced any results.  Maybe she is the person who passed away in Dunoon in 2000.
I will continue my search.

In the meantime if anyone is aware of any photographs of Gallowgate on the Internet I would be pleased to hear from them.

Many Thanks for your help.

Hi

I should have mentioned in my previous posting that Ethel ADAM (nee ROBERTS) died 4 August 1998.

It has been suggested to me that a death announcement could have been made in The Glasgow Evening Times.   If anyone reading this is visiting the Mitchell Library in Glasgow in the near future and could look this up for me, and let me have the details, I would be very grateful.

Thank you for your time.
