Hello everyone, My GGG GF, John McCletchie, died in 1864 at New City Road, Glasgow. I have his Death Certificate but am having trouble reading his Mother's Maiden Surname. I know what ScotlandsPeople transcribe it as but would like another opinion because it leads me to a Brick Wall. Anyone like to help and I will send you the scan ? Many thanks to those who recently helped me with a similar request for an 1861 Census. Another question while I am here. His death was announced in the Glasgow Herald....was this an indication of some 'wealth' ? Thanks Andrew

Hi Andrew Pass a copy and I would be happy to take a look at it You can also request help from Scotlandspeople The announcement in the paper was just a sign that someone wanted to tell someone else, he does not appear to have left a will which would be the first sign of wealth, it does not exclude the possibility but suggests he left no large estate Even some paupers had an announcement in the paper, entered by a friend, whereas some very wealthy individuals did not His grave and or memorial might be a better signal Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 13/01/2016 11:07, Andrew McCletchie via wrote: > Hello everyone, > > My GGG GF, John McCletchie, died in 1864 at New City Road, Glasgow. > > I have his Death Certificate but am having trouble reading his Mother's > Maiden Surname.
