Trying to find the death date and location of James Dalgleish who was born 27 June 1815 at INVERESK, MUSSELBURGH, MIDLOTHIAN, SCOTLAND. His wife Catherine (nee Inglis) died 3 February 1885 at 42 Drygate Street, Dalserf

Thanks Colin

This is most helpful

I tried all the deaths in the target years, including those you listed, but to no avail. Its still a bit of a mystery. His wife died in Dalserf and her obit can be seen on the attchment...

His wife Catherine (nee Inglis) died 3 February 1885 at 42 Drygate Street, Dalserf

Was James the informant of Catherine's death?

James is not at 42 Drygate Street, Dalserf or anywhere in Dalserf by 1895 (Valuation Rolls) as a Tenant/Occupier but could be in lodgings there not listed on VRs?

What was his occ. as he may have been working elsewhere i.e. out of Dalserf?

Is it possible he moved in with or closeby one of his children elsewhere?

Where were his children in 1891?
