MonicaL - My relative's name was Georgina McDonald nee McIntosh and James McDonald was indeed her husband, who was a baker.

In that case, their 1901 census entry is at the same address that Georgina died at the following year:

James Macdonald 70 retired baker
Georgina Mcdonald 58
Gardiner Mcdonald 30
Georgina Mcdonald 33
Annie Mcdonald 27
Maggie Mcdonald 24
Alice Northfield 22 boarder
Georgina Mcdonald 11 months grandchild

Address: 9 Millhill Sq, Musselburgh

Hi shanreagh

This clip attached is from the official image of Georgina MacDonald's death reg, available to download from the site for all Scottish BMDs www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

The addressess from the BMDs are not transcribed and are on the image of the registration on the registers. If there are problems with legibility, SP will often rescan to aim to improve the image.

You have misunderstood. I was commenting on the reliance on information from this source (below) This has Mill Kill and not Mill Hill as it has been read by OCR.

Sorry  :P Thought you meant the clip from SP.

You are absolutely right about the link from archive.org. It is an amazing resource but the
OCR used is often not great  :-\
