I can't find a death certificate for Janet Birrell. She was born in Scotland - don't know where and married John Birrell. Sometime between 1836 and 1839 they moved to Newcastle upon Tyne.

They had as far as I can find two children John Birrell bc 1836 and Christina b 1839.

Can anyone help me please - I'm fairly new to this and still trying to find my feet!!
Thanks
Susan
