Just looked-up on the Libindx the death of William Innes in 1861 and it states that it was shown in th MA paper for the 25 Dec.1861 on Page 4/6. Does anyone have access to this article or should I go to the Libindx site and order it. William

I doubt if it will tell you anything more than you already know. It refers not to an article, but to a death announcement (i.e. a paid advertisement in the classified section of the Moray Advertiser) which will read along the lines of "Innes. At Craighead, Glenlivet, on 15th December 1861, William Innes, farmer, aged 83". If the advertisement had contained anything more, such as the name(s) of his wife/parents/children, then the additional information would also have been included in the LIBINDX entry. If it had been described as 'Obituary' or 'Article', it would have been worth getting, because it would be a short article about the life of the subject, possibly including some information about the family.

Thanks for that note Anne. That's exactly what I was looking for. I don't know if you heard that my mentor George Watt of Ottawa sadly passed away last week. He will be missed.

William, I'm sorry to hear about George, he gave me a lot of help many years ago when I was looking for my family in Scotland. I had no idea where to start, he gave me ideas on where to start and what to look for. Barb
