Betty, I have death certificates from 1902, 1937, 1966 and 1988 and they all have the parents names on them. The 1902 and 1937 people were born in Ireland. I think it may be the case of the informant not knowing the information required, rather than ''were they born in Scotland? no? then they don't get named''. |

I ended up purchasing more credits for Scotlands people, and eventually found Mary Jane death record by searching for her maiden name O'Donnell. I found one in Glasgow which on the index had other name stated as Hagan, and i thought yes well maybe. It was her but her name is very easy to read and clearly says O'Hagan, so someone has wrongly transcribed her surname and cost me credits. Now how do i contact Scotlandspeople to report this mistranscription ? Debbie |

Debbie I am glad you found her death certificate, we got slightly side tracked last night. Was her parents names on it? On the home page at scotlands people scroll down to the bottom and it says contact us, click on it and just keep following the directions. Georgina. |

Georgina Thanks will try that as i have been told scotlandspeople refund crediots lost due to mistranscriptions. Yes her paents were recorded as James O'Donnell and Ellen O'Donnell, nee Gallacher. Informant was Mary Jane husband Patrick O'Hagan Debbie |

Just to add, O'Donnell and Gallagher are popular names in County Mayo. Could be useless info but could be a start too. Good Luck. Mark |

Hi Debbie... my mums maiden name is O'Reilly. We were all lead to beleive they always were.... which made my searching really diffecult.. until I discovered that although my Garndad was born O'reilly, his 7 older siblings were actually born Reilly... the name changed from Reilly to O'Reilly abt 1910...... Where as I have Hanlen in the family also. Which also in the early 1900's changed from O'Hanlen to Hanlen. so 1 added an 'O', the other lost the 'O'!! It's very strange sui |
