Some Scottish Death Certificates
Mid 20th Century onward, Death Certificates in Scotland are usually very good, my Grandmother's recorded 1st & 2nd husband names and her parents and her Father's occupation and Mother's Maiden name (which we knew was correct) back to c.1900 period.
All Scottish death certificates from 1855 onwards record the full names of both parents of the deceased, including the mother's maiden surname, and (except between 1856 and 1860) full names of any spouses, all assuming that the informant knew all this of course.

But if you can't decipher a certificate, use the 'Report Issue' button at top right to request a re-scan. These are normally sent by e-mail in two or three days.
