Hi Tony, Sorry to say that the Montrose papers are only available at Montrose library on microfiche. I mainly only took down the Johnshaven deaths as that was my main area of interest so cannot say whether your David was mentioned or not. Most of the death's reported are from well-to-do families. So I never found what I was looking for but thought I'd note some names down that were mentioned pre-1855 in the hopes that someone could use them. I've no plans to return to Montrose library in the near future but will print out your message and put it in my genealogy folder and hopefully get this done next time I am there if still required. However, most likely there wouldn't be much additional information to what you have if.

I have an ancestor David Smith who died at Luthermuir in Marykirk on 15 August 1853 (from Army Pension record). He also fought at the siege of Badajoz, having joined the Royal Horse Artillery Drivers in 1804. I suspect that his death too would be mentioned in a Montrose newspaper. Are these newspapers available for researching or do you have to go to Montrose? Alternately, can anyone do a look up?
