Mary Page Lunn (1872 - 1960)

[PeterATWright]

Hello fellow family history friends,
I`m trying to find out any information I can get, about this somewhat enigmatic  ancestor. She was born in Jedburgh, Scotland, where her father was a school teacher. The family moved to Glasgow c1890. It is believed that Mary trained as a teacher, but was certainly employed as such in a Glasgow school, at the time of the 1901 census, when she was aged 28 and still living with her parents Mary and John Lunn. Thereafter the trail goes cold, but she eventually died in Auchterarder, Perthshire in 1960, aged 88, where it is believed she is buried. Any help with this quest, warmly appreciated.
Peter

Death registered as Mary Page Lunn

Suggest you download a copy of her death cert to see who reported the death.  It will also give her address at that time and may show her occupation although she was well retired when she died

Very many thanks for this, and for your all research on it. Alas, this is the wrong family. My Mary Page Lunn`s parents were John Lunn and Mary Elizabeth Robertson. But its intriguing none the less - I note the Scottish Episcopal Church reference, and subsequent generations of Mary Elizabeth`s family were of this denomination.
