Oorzaak: Consumption or Tabes mesenterica Four months
1. Mary does not appear in 1861 Census with her Father, James.
2. No death record can yet be found for Marys Mother, Elizabeth Wilson or Ritchie on Scotlands people. She cannot be found in the 1861 census, with the rest of her family.
Mary, b 1859, cannot be found, either. However, her Grandmother, Margaret Shepherd, and her Great Grandmother, Elizabeth Strang, are living in the same house (Norton 2) as her Father, and family, 1861 census.
Has Elizabeth died and the death never been registered?
Has Mary died and the death never been registered?
3. On 13 May 2020 I found Elizabeth's death record. The Woodend where Elizabeth died is likely to be Woodend, Gask, rather than Woodend, Cowdenbeath, as her family in the 1861 Census are living in Norton, just along the road.
On the same day, I also find Mary's death also in 1860 also died Woodend.
