Note: Registration of his mother's death was made by son Thomas, indicating he was alive in 1867. The death was registered 5 days after date of death, so it's possible he lives some distance away (outside Scotland?), explaining why neither a marriage cert or a death cert has been traced yet for Thomas on Scotland's People.
