Ray, My husbands family (GRANT) Had many letters, pictures tales etc. I do not have Williams Death certificate just what was written by the family. They did live both in Aberdeen , Bucksburn and Newhills. I have pictures of the family plot in Newhills.( I also have pictures of my MIL Williamina’ Scott Grant's grave in The Grove, with William Mc Pherson and his wife Mary Scott. She was raised by them. ) William supposedly died of pleurisy and pneumonia on 28 Nov 1903.As he was born in 1832 that would be age 71 matching the death in Newhills. Where is the best place to order the Death Certificates for William and Charles? His son Charles S. Grant died of a brain tumor in 1906. We started genealogy research in 1995 when my husband was diagnosed with ALS and we wanted to see if wasting diseases ran in the family. None were found. (But my middle son was diagnosed with Brain Cancer in May. )Checked my old written records and it was Charles who is listed as dying at Gilbert Crescent, Bucksburn age 48 on 1-June-1906 His second wife Mary Rankin Young Grant lived there with their 6 children and some of the children of his first marriage to Jessie Gray. Are you researching the Grant line or just being a helpful angel?

Hi Mina William aged 71 died in Newhills has a death certificate on the Scotland's People site. I don't have enough credits left to see the certificate itself. If you register with ScP [ www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk ] you will have to buy 30 credits for £7 or equivalent. If you search on the Statutory Death certificates for 1903 Aberdeenshire you will find 3 hits. to see the list you use one credit. Then to download the certificate itself will cost 5 credits. You can store the certificate and print it. It should show the parents if the informant knew who they were! I've had a look in Family Search and there was a Wm Grant born in Newhills on 25 October 1832, baptized 13 November 1832. His parents were Wm GRANT and Margaret SPENCE. If you are content with this then you don't need to go to ScP to find the data. I'm not sure from what you have posted if William was in fact born in Newhills. There were over 1200 William Grants born in Scotland and unless you can determine where he was born, searching through that lot is a major task. The Newhills one I found was the 4th on the list - there may be more as the list is many pages long. BTW: "Angel" is a bit strong, Mina. I'm just interested in searches where I can possibly help. We have Grants appearing briefly in my wife's ancestry but they are back in the 15th century so unlikely to be directly connected! Keep looking and you'll break through. More help readily available if you need it.
