Dear Listers, I'm having trouble finding a death record for my g.g.grandmother Lucy McCOLL b. abt. 1818 m. John McCOLL abt. 1857-61 at Lismore, Argyll. I have in my notes that she died in 1895 but I can't confirm this. I've tried Scotland's People to no avail. Sandy (Australia)

Sandy > (Australia) Was McColl really her maiden name? So many records for women are in their maiden names even after they are married that you may be looking for the wrong name? regards Jill Bowis www.benderloch.org.uk/forum - Ardchattan history, geology, ecology, genealogy, weather, webcam, local forum www.kintaline.co.uk - where we are, what we do: Kintaline Plant and Poultry Centre

Sandy, I only have access to the microfilm INDEX films: Death 1895 MacCOLL, Lucy 70 Lismore #4 The age is a bit different than you thought. Also the spelling of MACCOLL. This should make it easier to find the cert on Scotlands People The IGI shows only 1 child born to John McCOLL and Lucy McCOLL - Peggy b 07 Jun 1860 Lismore, Argyll I looked at the microfilm indexes for the marriage of Lucy McColl between 1857 and 1862. There weren't any that I could find. If you get Peggy's birth certificate the date of the marriage should be on it. Seems odd that they would have only one child, unless John died young, Lucy was a nickname or, as Jill suggested, McColl was not her maiden surname. Have you found them on any of the cenuses? If you search on the IGI for Lucy McColl you'll find that someone has submitted a "Pedigree Resource file" for John McCOLL and Lucy McCOLL. It does list the submitters name and address.
