A Scottish death certificate gives you the following: Deceased's name and marital status with spouse's name plus the deceased's occupation The date and precise time of death and the place where the death occurred The full name of deceased's parents plus whether they are dead or alive and the maiden surname of the mother The cause of death and whether or not a doctor was seen The signature and the status of the informant of death - usually a son or daughter etc They are very useful bits of paper.

Angus Sutherland-Leslie confirmed as being buried in the Dornoch Cemetary (photo etc.)...would any information on his death record 25 March 1856 tell me more than just his parents names?
