The marriage certificate will give you her father's name, which should help a lot.... |

The marriage appears to be 1952 not 1953; |

Oh yes, the 'where' is quite important, sorry. Indeed Alnwick is where they lived and died. James Graham was born just across the border in Berwickshire but I have no idea where Rosemary was born. James' TRANSCRIBED death certificate has her middle name as EILDON. I thought this was a simple mistranscription but it may be a clue as to her origins. I have of course searched the Scottish index and she doesn't appear there either. |

Have you looked at Scotlandspeople for births? |

Indeed I have but there are no Turners marrying Whitsons and no Margaret/Rosemary Whitsons being born in Roxburgh or Berwick. |

Elliot, Rosemary's funeral was recent enough that the funeral directors may have contact info for her sister that would still be current. |

Her place of birth will be recorded on her death cert..........as will her exact DOB |

Rosemary lived alone from 2002 until her death |

Do you know who lived with her from 1996 - 2002? Or are those the only years covered online? |

Cheers Reggie, I will contact them if the death certificate doesn't contain anything useful in it :-) |

It's an idea JoonieCloonie. If all avenues prove fruitless, I will give it a whirl. |

The date of birth on the death certificate is not sourced from anywhere - it is guesswork if not knowledge by whoever registered the death. |

Elizabeth, per 192.com that was a male Turner, and since it is very recent info (someone's home address) I would delete it. |

I appreciate your enthusiasm Elizabeth2469049 but Rosemary Graham lived alone on St Georges Crescent in 2009 when she died. |

Elliot, a call to the funeral directors would really be a quick and simple way of finding out whether you can contact Margaret through them ! |

I phoned the funeral directors and were happy to forward a letter on my behalf. I also have Rosemary's death certificate which lists her cousin as the informant. |
