Absolutely no way of knowing for sure Kathleen! In the 1911 irish census there are two pages of Meldrums in Fermanagh. |

I found a headstone for James and Margaret Meldrum in Fermanagh. Could this be the Meldrum family I'm looking for? |

The 1881 Scotland Census about Francis and Elizabeth Devlin list Francis' place of birth as Ireland. I believe I found the Fermanagh connection through a cousin who had done some research but I'm not absolutely positive. |

So from that information you know that Mary Scott nee Meldrum may have died in Scotland. You know that she was born about 1764 in Ireland. Presumably she died before statutory registration began in Scotland in 1855 as you don't have a death registration for her. On the census she is listed as a pauper so may have claimed poor relief. It may be worth checking if the poor relief records for West Kilbride have survived as these often give birth parishes, death dates for spouses, names of parents and names of spouses parents. |

All of the information that I have was forwarded in an email to me from a McLaughlin cousin who currently resides in Scotland. |
