Not seeing any O'Reilly deaths with mmn McDiarmid.


Neither of her sisters seem to have married and I'm not seeing a marriage for her brother in Scotland. So it's not looking likely that she had any nieces or nephews.

I'm not seeing a divorce record for her in Scotland and most of the Scottish divorce records have survived.

There were 259 Reilly/O'Reilly/variant births in Edinburgh 1941-60, and as mms can't be used as a search term on SP, it's impossible to know which, if any, might have been her children.

The actual cert would, of course, show the mms - but impossible to know which cert it might be.

Look for her name in search all member trees - send contact messages if she's in any.

Other than that, you'll need to look for info on Scotland's People website, which isn't a subs site

Who registered her death?
