They may not have been living in the Nairn area in 1901, of course.

There are several Jessies born c1900 with mother named Mary, and also Janets ditto, in other parts of Scotland. Jessie is often a diminutive of Janet.

[EDIT: as Kay has already said while I was typing!]

If you can send the death cert by PM as suggested above, I'll have a look at it, to see if I can decipher Mary's address.

Yes I did look at this sorry forgot to mention a guy here on genes who's related said he thought this was not her as this jessie died later I think this mary was something like his great gran or something regards stuart although I thought it's a close match

Ok hope this helps where I have got so far jessie macdonald born circa 1900 to Mary macdonald died balblair house nairn 1927 she had John macdonald at that address 1926 she's buried in a paupers grave nairn cemetery i am trying to work back from jessie through Mary I have never found a birth cert for jessie or indeed a Mary macdonald with a young jessie in the 1901 census after constant efforts kind regards stuart

If you have the death cert saved to your computer, you can send me a private message (click on my name at the top of this post) and attach the file to your message.

That would be the preferred method - preferred by me, at least!

If that doesn't work, I might be willing to use a few credits and have a look on SP.
However, the site is down until Monday 26th, so I wouldn't be able to do it until then.
