Decided to register with Scotlands People - filled in the details -received the welcoming e-mail with a long "code" to validate account - saved it in browser but cannot find where it goes on the site {looking for something like "my account"?}

Help :-S

Does anyone know how I can find a death for a married woman on the new Scotlandspeople website ?

If I remember correctly on the old website it used to show maiden names / married names

thank you

In "Advanced People Search" you can put in maiden or other surname, and also mother's maiden surname.


EDIT:

in fact, you can do that just with "Search for People".

Thanks ArgyllGran,


I will give that a go.

I have to agree Joan ,
I am sure it was easier to find a married woman's death using both maiden and married names, and now you can't even put an approx date of birth ,

Not Happy

I can work out how to determine the death of a married woman but, finding an actual marriage isn't quite so simple.

I think there is something wrong with the search fields.
I have already tested it numerous times and, by including a spouse's surname it results in NO MATCHES.

Remove it from the search.
All potential matches are shown
However, if you then go through them one by one, clicking " spouse details" , eventually you find the one with exactly the same surname that the initial search couldn't produce ??

AAARGGGHH

Years in birth are still there.they have replaced sex with a preset sex female or male.or both.!

If you use the Search our Records,from the choices,SR click Births,or your choice
the year boxes you just overwrite in the pre years--1855 -2016,no need to earse them either.

SR marriages,,,,,leave Both clicked.
