There are a few spelled with two L's, in or near Edinburgh - or of course she may have been born somewhere entirely different:


MCNEILL
ELIZABETH T P
F
1932
685/10 262
Leith South


MCNEILL

MCNEILL
ELIZABETH JANE

George Square


Elizabeth Daphne's death was registered in George Square district - not that that's anything to go by!

Couldn't find on scotlands people an elizabeth mcneil born circa 1930 1935 edinburgh though

Loanhead is in Midlothian..

Francis Victor Young died last year:

YOUNG
FRANCIS VICTOR
83
2015
762/ 244
Midlothian

His death cert would give his last address, whether his wife was still alive or not, and hopefully the informant would be a relative.

Frances victor young maybe married an elizabeth mcneil edinburgh 1952

Looks like it's elizabeth mcneil married Mr young 1952 haymarket

Right back to this one,I have her death cert now,elizabeth daphne mcneil usual residence 8 fords road edinburgh,informant was a Daughter e.young 76 high street looks like Loanhead

(above are relating to William Henry Montgomery McEvoy, from google)

Chris :)

(snippet from first link)

On 26th December 1907 he married Annie Ogilvy Glasgow in the Church of the Sacred Heart in Edinburgh. He was working as a mental nurse.

In 1918 they had moved to 9 Wardlaw Place in Edinburgh. William was working as a rubber worker.

William died of valvular heart disease and pulmonary congestion, aged 65, in 1940 at 9 Wardlaw Place. Until he died he was working as a night watchman.

Argyllgran,
It IS the new way of showing the death of a married woman.

All surnames for the deceased woman are indexed separately under one index number. ( in this case 738/739 .. under both her maiden and married names

Edit:
A wee tip that I found on the new death search on SP

If you identify a potential female death.
Search a 2nd time by removing the surname ( leave it blank)
Make certain that 1st name(s) entered is/are exactly the same as the one on the death that you located.

Ensure that the year and place also match with the result and... hit search

All death indexes with the same number will be the same person.
If there are more than 2 surnames, the chances are that she married more than once.

So far, I have found the deaths of 2 elusive women.
It transpires that both married a 2nd time and both married late in life

I never knew about either of the 2nd marriages until the name came up under the same index number and by using the name combination, I easily located the additional marriages.


I was initially unhappy with the new search but, I am now loving it!

Witnesses on marriage cert were john mcneill brother 27 wardlaw place and Sophie mcevoy 9 wardlaw place I reckon this was probably the two family homes before they married

Peter's name (assuming this is the same Peter) is spelled with two l's on his death record as well as at marriage - though Elizabeth's is spelled with only one at her death - if that means anything!:

MCNEILL

PETER

74

1978

730/ 277

Haymarket

The informant on the death cert might turn out to be her child.

Please can you tell us ALL the details on the marriage cert, Stuart?



This is the 1991 death for E D McEvoy/McNeill:
MCEVOY

ELIZABETH DAPHN[E]

83

1991

738/ 739

George Square




MCNEIL

ELIZABETH DAPHN[E]

83

1991

738/ 739

George Square


As her death is listed under both names, that should mean that she was known by both names, so maybe the marriage failed and they separated or divorced.
(Unless it's a new way SP is showing previous surnames.)

ok kay

Try tree search on here for Peter dates vary between,,1900 -1911. any which could be a match.perhaps one is a family connection to any children Peter J and Elizabeth had.

Peters fathers first name was peter his mother was margaret

1911 census -
There is this McEvoy family in Morningside RD, Edinburgh Ref 685/6 86/4

William 36
Annie 33
Elizabeth 2
John 0

Possible further McEvoy births to the same couple
William H Montg 1912
George Ogilvy 1913
Mary Ogilvy 1916
Beatrice Thompso 1918

Ancestry has trees with Elizabeth b 1908 St Andrews, Edinburgh and her death 1991 Edinburgh. None show a spouse or children.

Her parents show as married 1907 Glasgow and are down as
William Henry Montgomery McEvoy 1875 - 1940 and
Annie Ogilvy Glasgow 1877 - 1959

William Henry M McEvoy parents John McEvoy and Dorcas Cavanagh

Annie Ogilvy Glasgow's parents John Glasgow and Mary Ogilvy

ED Mcevoy was registered 1908.

Scotland's People has his surname spelt with 2 L's on the marriage record
MCNEILL PETER JOSEPH
MCEVOY
Spouse details
1933
685/1 118
118
Haymarket

What were Peter and Joseph's parents and grandparents full names - there may be a clue to children's names in the Scottish naming pattern?

On the other hand, I'm not seeing a birth for Peter in Scotland.

Elizabeth's birth shows as 1908
MCEVOY
ELIZABETH DAPHN
F
1908
685/2 334
St Andrew (Edinburgh

Do you KNOW that the family stayed in Edinburgh after the marriage?
