Mary Scott b.1889 Coatbridge
« on: Wednesday 03 February 10 21:00 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I'm looking for my great aunt, Mary Scott, born 1889 in Coatbridge.
Parents were John Scott and Elizabeth Ann Pickford.
I can find Mary in the 1891 and 1901 cencus but cannot find any marriage or death.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello J.Mac.

I had a couple of SP credits and did marriage lookup, alas without success.

I found a marriage1928, to an Edward Flannery. Unfortunately Mary's parent's details didn't match.

Hope this will save someone else looking at the same marriage.

Hi,

Have you been able to find a birth for Mary on SP? I had a general search and it looks like some of the possibles have middle names. This could help to find a marriage or death, especially with a popular name like Scott.

Have you checked to see who the informant was on her parents death records?

Hi all,

I've been through SP for marriages and deaths but cannot find anything that looks like a possible match. Mary's birth record has no middle names either, so it's a difficult name to research.
The informant on the deaths of her father and mother was her brother James Scott.
Her mother re-married after the death of her father and was Elizabeth Ann White and died in  1947 in Hamilton.
I've also tried EllisIsland but the Mary Scott I found from Lanarkshire had a relative's address in Scotland that did not seem to tie in with her family.

Regards,
J-Mac

Any clues from the witnesses to her siblings marriages?

The only sibling marriage that would be possible is her brother James Scott to Mary Hughes in 1918.
I'll have to look into that one. The two other sibling marriages that I have the record for show siblings other than Mary as the witness.
Thanks for tha hint.

Her mother re-married in 1919 at Hutcheson Street Glasgow.
The witnesses were the couple married on the same page of the record.
