Thankyou very much Rhoda. I don't know why I didn't go to Scotland's People website first up. They are usually my first port of call. I am about to go there now thanks to you.

She is listed with 3 other surnames (other than Ret, that is). They are Brown, Byrne and Moore. So she had possibly been married twice before. Other Rets listed as dying between 1855 and 2006 are (in no particular date order) : Caterine Theresa Age 0 1925 Leith South Catterina Age 52 1924 Leith South (one other surname given: TOWE) Janet Catherine Age 64 1987 Haymarket, Edinburgh (Other surnames: Brunton, Moore) Louis Age 0 1932 George Square, Edinburgh Louis Domenic Age 85 2003 Vale of Leven, West Dunbartonshire Luigi Francesco Age 55 1956 Dennistoun, Glasgow Maureen Ann Age 53 1993 Uphall, West Lothian (Other surnames: Clark, Moore) Nelly Olga Age 83 1990 St Andrew (Edinburgh) (Other surnmame: Martin) Patrick Age 82 1991 George Square, Edinburgh Pietro Age 49 1926 Gorbals, Glasgow Births (RETS 1924 - 1940 Scotland) Caterina Teresa 1924 George Square, Edinburgh Caterina Teresa 1924 Leith South (I don't know if this is the same as the one above, but registered in 2 different districts of Edinburgh) Christina Teresa 1924 Leith South Ida Santa 1926 Leith South Lina Annie 1931 Leith South Louis 1932 Leith South Maria Teresa 1926 Leith South Maureen Ann 1939 Leith Romano Giovanni 1934 Leith South Samuel 1925 Leith South Vittoria Luisa 1934 Leith South RET Marriages 1855 - 1932 Scotland 1923 Luigi Francesco to Vittoria Regina Cimarosti Leith South 1923 Romant to Annie Milne Brown Leith South 1926 Sante Bortolome to Maria Vallan St Giles, Edinburgh Not female RET marriages in Scotland up to 1832. "Other surnames" may be either the married names of women or their maiden names. Indices of Marriages on Scotlands People do not go beyond 1932. Images of birth certificates can be viewed online up to 1906. Images of death certificates can be viewed online up to 1956. Scotlands People is a pay site. £6 for 30 credits. 1 credit to search and 5 credits to view the image. I hope that helps.
