scxottish births from 1917

Question

I have been looking for ages for Margaret B H Terry and now it suddenly dawned on me and her nephew that she may well have been born in scotland possibly midlothian

We also think her full name was Margaret Begbie Hunter Terry and she passed away in Australia

Just looking for any evidence of this her profile is also open to add to it as the only record I have for her is a marriage in surrey, England

Answer 1

Looks like there is a single close match, born in Portobello district...

You can pay to view. Typically will tell you names of parents and when they married.

Answer 2

This is the reference to her death & burial in Melbourne http://smct.org.au/deceasedsearch/result/725799

Answer 3

An unsourced family tree posted on Ancestry.uk records Peggy's birth as 1 August 1917, Portobello, Midlothian, with parents Charles Edward Terry & Elizabeth Young Hunter.

Thank you for all the comments and the death certainly helps as it has all the dates I need and that is definately her parents just a shame that one is unsourced

There is also a sourced tree on ancestry but I am not subscribed to view it in the Cox family tree which has 3 records and 3 sources added
