Unfortunately, it's impossible to tell from the births listed on SP if Wilhelmina and James had any or not, as you can't search with mms after 1854, and Stewart is such a common name.

Thanks, Rootsgatherer!
I usually do leave the parameters pretty wide when searching for anything.

Isn't it a great feeling when a bit of lateral thinking lets you find something not immediately obvious!

Thanks Alviegal, Agyllgran and rootgatherer.... 1 of the 4 has been found!

At this time, I assume that Wilhelmina and James Stewart had no children.

I also know the correct death date for her father.

Her brother, Charles has such a common name. It may be difficult to find him.

Thx

ArgyllGran, don't be put off by not finding someone when searching by name on deceased online. When I searched for OH's 4x G Grandfather I found nothing. I searched for his daughter then paid to checked others buried in the lair and he was there. He was well known in Forfar in his day and even has a plaque of commemoration at the house where he lived. He is not named on the headstone and his wife is buried in another part of the cemetery but again not named on the headstone or listed when searching.

Death of her father Thomas Ross - ie - not the unsubstantiated death on 10/12/1917 in Carnoustie, given in a tree on Ancestry. There's no sign of that death on SP in any case.

1935 ROSS THOMAS M 92 BARRY /ANGUS 274/00 0011

That'll be the right one, alviegal.

This is the death of Blaine's Wilhelmina:

1931 ROSS WILHELMINA STEWART F 61 ST CLEMENT DUNDEE CITY/ANGUS 282/02 0663

The image says:
Wilhelmina Stewart, widow of James Stewart, gardener.
26th July 1931, at Royal Infirmary, Dundee.
Home address: 56 Millar Street, Carnoustie.
Father: Thomas Ross, gardener.
Mother: Jane Ross, ms Davidson, deceased.
Cause of death: carcinoma of colon.

Maybe?

Thanks for the replies...

Not sure if I should post this or not... but will.

another Davidson or 2 to be found...
Jane Davidson married Thomas Ross 1866 Inverkeillor Angus in 1866
They had a son Charles Alexander Ross b. 13 Jun 1879 Arbirlot Angus.
He was home in the 1891 census for Scotland. I cannot locate him after this
date. He also had a sister Whilhemina Davidson Ross b. 12 Apr 1869 Inverkeillor.
She is single in the 1911 census... Cannot locate her after his.... Deaths do not
seem to be in Scotland.. tried many combinations to try to find them on Scotlandspeople...

Deceased Online have no records for a Donald Monro / Monroe / Munro buried 1841.

Deceased online cover the Angus area very well. Have you looked for a burial for Donald. If Ann was buried in the same lair that would get you a date of burial.

The problem is you are searching for fairly common surnames. Are you aware that female deaths in Scotland (after 1855) are indexed under married and maiden surnames? So, for example if the informant of Ann's death gave her father's surname and stated that she was widow of Donald Munro and married to or widow of someone else all three surnames would be on the index.

I guess Ann could have remarried.. but I did not find anything when I looked.

I have DonaldMonroe born 1810 Farnell Angus...

So where did you get her year and place of birth from please?

Is it possible that Ann remarried ?

So he won't be on the census, which wasn't taken until June

I have Donald Munro dying 6 May 1841

My typing error... Donald Munro died in 1841

Hello there... I did not find Ann on any census.. if that helps

Thx
