Robert & Ellen Moore.....

Post by cocobelle » Thu May 25, 2006 9:30 pm

Hi,

I am searching for the death of the above couple, sometime between 1887 and 1901. They were born & lived up until 1887 in N Ireland but I can't find anything there for them after this date, so I thought prehaps they may have gone to Scotland, as other family members went back & forth to work.

All help appreciated.

Thanks, Angela

Hi Angela
and a warm welcome to Talking Scot :D
Have you tried looking for their deaths on the Scotlands People site? (link at top of page) It is a pay per view site, where you can download copies of the original birth, marriage and death entries from 1855 onwards. Once you have signed up, you do not need to pay to search, so you could find out if there are any likely results first. You do need to pay to see the results of the searches. 1 credit which =20p to see a list of results, and 5credits which =£1 to see the actual entry.

If you know Ellen's maiden surname you can do a death search for her using both surnames. If you have an idea of their birth dates this will also help to narrow down your search results.

Best wishes
Lesley
