That's brilliant Chiad.

The death notice was easy to miss.  It needed a bit of fuzzy searching and a lot of luck, as the OCR recognised 'beloved wife of the late Hugh Ruxton' as 'be-loved wife of the lale Hujh RUkton'!  :D

I found it, eventually, by working through pages and pages of PDFs, one by one, until it came up. Much harder than the search page where I use "exact phrase".

No wonder I couldn't find it initially.

Thanks again.

Aye mair questions than answers in a world where the past was a different place - that cannae be revisited!

Family surnames being researched ...
Crawford, Neilson, Lindsay, Reekie, Davidson
Drummond, Laing, Pearson, Tulloch ... will do for starters but there's a whole lot more!
