Jessie Anderson Findlay --Death Record

[frances]

Trying to find the death of Jessie Anderson Findlay (maiden name Sutherland)

Jessie married Robert Findlay in 1849 in Latheron, they have two children (1850 and 1851) he subsequently marries Isobel Mavers in 1861. On his marriage certificate to Isabel Robert is described as a widower.

Can find no trace of Jessie's death between 1851 and 1861

Any help much appreciated.

Kind Regards

Frances

Have you checked the 4 death records for Jessie Anderson, Female, Jan 1, 1851-Dec 31, 1854 on ScotlandsPeople?

Hi Frances,

Yes, I did look at them ( or at least I looked but didn't open them up individully). None were in the right area and I thought ( rightly or wrongly )that her death would have been reg under her married name of Findlay . Maybe someone could put me right on that.

Thanks for your help

In Scotland a married woman's death is registered in both maiden and married name (and even other married names).

When searching for a married female's death, I always search on the maiden name and also enter the married name in the box "other names".

Hi Mary,

No Joy, none of them are my elusive Jessie

Maybe have to accept that I am not goimg to find her death.

Thanks any way.

Hi Frances

It looks like there are no OPR deaths recorded for Latheron at all.
http://www.scotlandspeoplehub.gov.uk/pd ... -1to56.pdf
38. LATHERON*
38/1
B 1740-1819 M 1755-1819 D -
38/2
B 1820-54 M - D -
38/3
B - M 1820-54 D -

So if your Jessie (could also turn up as a Jane, Janet or Jean) died before 1855, then it seems likely that there will be no record of it. Maybe worth checking to see if there are any MIs for the area, if you have not done so already. And this web site: http://www.graven-images.org.uk/index.htm


Best wishes
