Possible death for Mary Crowe 1974 Brechin age 89   other surname McGregor mothers maiden name McPhail
Marriage for a Mary McGregor to a John Crowe 1908 Fodderty Rosshire looks good

That’s great! Thanks.

I’ve confirmed

a) Neil McGregor did indeed die in 1907
b) Simon McGregor and his entire family did all speak both English and Gaelic according to the 1891 Census

I’ve had no luck locating Neil on the 1891 Census, nor his son John (who registered his death). I haven’t found any census records for Neil either, so I’m not even sure when John was born. I have some ScotlandsPeople credits left over, so if anyone could help me find the census records, that’d be great!
