So do you think that's George Horne Buchanan's death Alviegal? So he didn't die in Scotland. That would explain why we couldn't find a death for him in Scotland :-) :-)

I suspect that this is John's parents. Death certificate will prove it.

This is probably the death registration of John Horne ( grandfather of Jane Buchan nee Horne). It should give you his parents names and the maiden name of his wife Janet. I suspect that Janet died before statutory registration began in Scotland in 1855.

Now that Alviegal has found George Horne Buchanan's family on the census records, I think this could be his father's death. Later than you thought but the registration district fits with the census records

BUCHANAN
GEORGE HAMILTON

1924
644/20 110
Plantation


Again if you buy credits for Scotlandspeople, the entry will name his parents, including his mother's maiden name if the informant knew the details. It will also say if he was "married to". Or "widower of" and help narrow the timescale for his wife's death. That way you can verify her parents. All that will take you back a further generation for your grandchildren.
