Hi Everyone,

Managed to find this record of death for Helen McCracken [nee Loag ] but can't quite make out the writing.
No 149 on the cert.
Her father was Samuel Loag/Logue, think that's what it says, but even with my specs on I can't make out the rest.

So if there'e anyone out there with much better eyesight than me I'd appreciate your help.

Thanks

Brenda

Hi Brenda,

Can you upload the image to the TalkingScot Gallery for all to see and make an opinion of?

All the best,
