Hi Julie

On that death certificate, there is no address cited for the informant, who merely appears as J.W.R. Reid, daughter.

I have just sent you an email with the death certificate and associated RCE for Robert Ross attached.

Cheers,

Rodeo

Just a quick message to anyone following this post and kindly gave advice. My cousin has only just received a response from  South Lanarkshire Council after months of waiting. They say there is no burial for Jeanie Whiteford Reid nee Ross at Bent Cemetery but did find her husband and parents. We already knew they were buried there but at least now my cousin has the lair numbers. They also say they can't find her brother Andrew Thompson Ross but back in June, Rodeo posted that he is recorded in the Bent Cemetery records and was buried there on the 7th December 1923. As far as I am aware, South Lanarkshire Council administer the Bent Cemetery burial records so I am a bit confused with that. How can we get to view these records ourselves?

So we are back to square one with our search for Jeanie. She has simply vanished off the face of the earth. My cousin even contacted the Lanarkshire police as technically, she is was/is a missing person. They say this is not something they would get involved with.

Hi Julie

The Andrew T Ross interred in Bent Cemetery on 7 December 1923 is indeed your Andrew Thompson Ross. I have just had a look at his death certificate, which reads as follows:

Andrew Thomson Ross, Art Student, Single, Age 19  Date, Place and Time of Death: 5:25 am, 5 December 1923, Western Infirmary, Glasgow  Usual Residence: Stonyfield Road, Blantyre  Parents: Robert Ross, Plumber, and Agnes Paterson Ross, Maiden Surname Harris  Cause of death: Tuberculosis The informant was Jean W Ross, Sister

I'll forward to you that certificate.

Cheers,

Rodeo
