Parents James York & Martha McL*n.
She died 1902 Glasgow.

Hi Cathy
This census should be available on Scotlands People. Have you looked there already? If you can't find her there I'm sure someone will be able to point you in the right direction.

If you know where she died and what surname she is likely to be listed under, you should be able to find her, given that you seem to know where she was in 1901.

Best wishes
Lesley

Hello Cathy,

It may be a good idea to repost this in the Institution section. Otherwise if the opportunity does arise for someone to do lookups at Barnhill yours could be overlooked.

All the best,
Alan
