Hi thumper40,



have you approximate years you are looking at??

HI thumper40,



this looks like your grandfathers death ref...

Andrew Mcleish

March 1988 Manchester Vol 38 Pg 1190

date of birth 22 March 1912

age at death 76

This possibly his birth in Perthshire

1912 McLeish Andrew Perth GROS ref 387/00 0293



Unfortunately his birth is within the modern indexes and therefore can't be viewed online with Scotland's People. His birth extract would give you his date, place, time of birth and his parents names as well as their date and place of marriage.

this possibly your grandmother's death in Perth..



Jane McLeish 1979

other surnames, McKenzie, Mooney, Sword

age 66 Perth

district Perth/Kinross

GROS ref: 390/00 0696



again her death is within the modern indexes and is not available to view online..



You can order extracts from GROS. This link will tell you how to go about ordering certs from General Register Scotland
