Hi Claire

If you do a search on scotlands people using the male surname only

and female surname bla* and the date range 1918 to 1932 it thows up 2 matches unfortunatly I am at work and have no credits in my account at scotlands people.

I hope this helps

yours

Brucel

No obvious signs of a marriage but hopefully somebody else will find it.

A check of SP shows that Margaret was born around 1881 and died at Alloa in 1955 but obviously you can't view that image. A good chance she was married before considering her age when she had your gran.

There is one Margaret Blaney living at Stirling in 1901 and a marriage the same year. If you can find the name of that Margaret Blaney's husband you could do a cross check of the one who died in Alloa.

Hope this makes sense.

Regards,
Annette

Hi Claire,

The death certificate is beyond the 50 year cut-off date, so it is there available for you to download from SP. I took a peek at it, and there is a big clue there for you - Margaret Blaney known as Margaret McNaughton. I would take that to mean that they were unmarried - hence no sign of a marriage on SP.

All the best,

AndrewP
