Can any one tell me how I can find death records in Scotland. I am trying to find an uncle and aunts death which I believe was in Scotland but it would be probably in the 2000s. I am looking for death of both James Prior born Colchester 1902 and Hilda Prior (Francis) born 1902 I believe London both went to Scotland to live with family. Thank you Ruth

You need Scotlands People website/ It pay to view although you can do a free search. If you find the record you can order the cert through the site. I paid £10 for the death cert of my Aunt .

just to tie things up she wasnt born in 1902 which is why I said dont put a birth year in the Scottish search,

this ties nicely with her age at death and isn't too far from where they married

Name: Hilda E Francis
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1910
Registration district: Ipswich

Thanks Kathy that will be great, I told my mum that she had died also that Uncle Jim had died as well in Scotland. We had wondered what happened to them. Thanks again Ruth
