I can't find a birth record for Mary Scott, born in Edinburgh (St Cuthberts) between 1837 and 1843 depending on census and marriage certificates. Her dead certificate gives the approximate birth as 1837 but marriage suggests she was born in 1843. Her parents were John or William Scott (he appears to have used both names) and Margaret Anderson. Mary married Thomas Anderson, a butcher/flesher in 1870 they had five sons, the youngest James born 1876 all in Edinburgh.
