Hi Marion If you are looking in Scotland there is a possibility the death might be under the maiden name. The Scots are so much more liberated than us English! Tina PS A good chunk of me is scottish - particularly the liberated bit.,

Scotland usally has them under both names which is great for cross-referencing.

Hi Marion, I would try married name first, but as was mentioned in an earlier reply you would probably get the result on Scotlandspeople using either name. Shaun
