Hello all I am searching for the death of Malcolm MacIver between 1923 and 1925. He was born c1889 at Stornoway Rossshire, the son of Malcolm and Annie MacIver. He married in 1923 in London ENG and his occupation is stated as Chief Officer (Merchant Service) and his address Canvey Island Essex. However, his wife re-married in 1925, just two years later, and she is a widow at that time. I am not able to find a death for him in ENG nor in the overseas deaths nor consular deaths, so I am now wondering if he died whilst in SCT, perhaps visiting family. Are there any publicly searchable death indexes available that cover this period? Any assistance much appreciated. Anne (in Australia)

Hello Anne, There is a death on Scotlands People Website for a Malcom MacIver aged 36 yrs. b. 1889 + - 1 yr 1924 in Inverness. Scotlands People is a pay per view costs £6 for 30 credits. 1 credit to view the index and 5 credits to view the extract which you can download, it will give you parents names (provided the informant new this info.) also his wife's name and cause of death. I have done a great amount of research on the site and found many rellies. Hope this helps. Regards Mary. > Hello all > > I am searching for the death of Malcolm MacIver between 1923 and 1925. > > He was born c1889 at Stornoway Rossshire, the son of Malcolm and Annie > MacIver.

Help. I have exhausted every database that I can find on the internet paid or free. My Maggie cannot be found. The November 27, 1897 marriage registration of Maggie Baxter (b. abt 1877), in Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland and James McNay,(b.Aug.20, 1874) in Bridgeton, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, states they were married at the United Presbyterian Church in Stewarton, Ayrshire, Scotland. Her parents are recorded as James Baxter and Elizabeth MacAulay both deceased. At that time she was working as a farm servant and living at 9 High Street, Stewarton, Aryshire, Scotland. The date on the marriage registration confirmed on the birth certificates or registration of their 5 children : Robert Paterson Aitchison McNay (b. June 20, 1899), Elizabeth (b. May 22,1901), Maggie Baxter McNay (b. May 10, 1903 d. Jan 10, 1904), John McNay (b. August 27, 1904), James McNay (b. January 31, 1907) and Maggie Baxter Aitchison McNay (b. May 27, 1910). All born in or around Beith, Ayrshire, Scotland. By 1911 Maggie was living at Lorimer's, Westfield Rows, Cardenden, Fife Scotland, separated from husband James, but maintaining custody of two youngest children. The oldest 3 are in the care of Quarriers, Orphan Homes of Scotland. James is working as a cattleman at Kinnimouth, Kinglassie, Fife, Scotland, unable to care for the 3 oldest because of ill health She immigrated to Medicine Hat, Alberta Canada in 1914, aboard the Hesperian, the 2 youngest children left in the care of relatives of James McNay and they became wards of Quarriers in 1916. I have even looked at variations of the surname Macaulay and thought perhaps it was Mcanally, but that does not lead anywhere either to a birth of a Maggie Baxter with parent of James and Elizabeth. Knowing that two of the children's names contain the surname of Aitchison as a forename , I have looked in that direction as well. I found her in the 1901 Census of Scotland, but not in any of the others. I have looked at other UK Census from 1871 through 1891 and have not found Maggie. I have looked for Death registration here in Canada and in the USA , No Luck As I said, help, I don't know what I am not doing, to locate her Thanks Dona C

you said: > That's awesome information, and ties in with what I already have (that Susan's mother's maiden name was Campbell) Thanks for that. I've looked quite a bit for William Jackson - from his will I know that he was born around 1806 (poss. a year either side) which narrows it down a bit, but as this was roughly the time of the highland clearances I don't want to rule out him being from outside Glasgow. Furthermore, if I trace back through what I consider to be the most likely, how can I categorically prove that this is the correct line? > > Thanks again for the info ** IT is not always possible to prove some links, but try avenues such as the National Archives of Scotland (NAS) online catalogue; look for gravestone inscriptions (M.I.s); census records such as 1841; and the Glasgow Room at Glasgow's Mitchell Library.

As far as my research currently can figure out, there isn't any immediate match to your George Milne FAIRBAIRN etc. But, as the dna project is beginning to show, most of the farming Borders FAIRBAIRNs seem to be distantly related anyway, and however flawed his grandson's bio is genealogically speaking, it certainly leads back to Sprouston, and St Boswells, ROX.
