The death certificate has no spouse details (although it does have his parents) - the informants were the police so I am guessing they did not know

Will pm the certificate later when I am home

Thank you all as ever. When I get stuck I know I can always count on someone or many someone's helping me. Hope I can do the same for others one day.
Thanks again, it has been really important to find this information. :-) :-)

No the certificate has him as 42...there are only four Peter Taylors who died in Scotland between 1893 and 1968 and the one in Caithness is one of them. He fractured his skull - presumably in an accident - as the police were the informants. And it's on Scotlands People, nowhere else

I cannot find a death. Peter Taylor born 1868 in Wemyss ( not sure whether it was east or west ) registered Buckhaven, Fife, married Isobella Henry in 1893. I really don't know where to look for his death as I can't find Scottish towns on the sites I have looked at.
Can anyone tell me where to find Scottish records, please.
Thanks , Dorothy
