So Wardrop was her maiden name - did she marry?  If so - her death would probably be under her married name

There is a death on Scotlandspeople for a Margaret Legate Wardrope in 1953 in Stonehouse aged 32, note the different spelling of her name, sounds as if this could be her.

Hi Carole,

I know the death has now been found but...

In Scotland, if a female married, her maiden name as well as her married name would be recorded (on death, if known to the informant) which can be found with the same ref. no. (a great asset on SP) for us Scots  ;D

Hi Annie

Thanks for that info.  I have always been somewhat envious at the amount of info on Scottish records compared to those here in England.  It certainly makes research a lot easier

Carole,

The 'married' reference I made was to the indexes however that's if you know both marital & maiden names or at least have an idea?

On the downside, unlike your English records, we don't have the maiden surname on our birth indexes!

Swings & roundabouts as knowing mother's m/s on births here in Scotland would be a huge help indeed!  ;D

Julie,
How certain are you that you located the correct birth cert  for this woman?
You say that according to SP she was born in Hillhead.
Where did you obtain the parent names?

Info suggested as birth:
WARDROP
MARGARET LEGGAT
F
1922
644/12 349
***Hillhead

It could be this one which looks more likely.
Birth is registered in Stonehouse.

WARDROPE
MARGARET LEGATE
F
1920
656/ 108
***Stonehouse

There are also 2 marriages showing for a woman/women with this name.
Impossible to tell if it's the same person or not.
Marriages took place 1950 Kirkintilloch and 1955 in Shettleston

The naming pattern may be at work here.
Could these women be descended from the marriage of:
Robert Wardrop and Margaret Leggat who married in Lesmahagow 1883 ?
