Hi Greensleeves
The LDS site 'family search' has a lot of free Scotland info. on it.Other sites are just Ancestry,Family Past or Scotlands People.
These are the only good ones I know of.
Good luck
Andrea :)

Thats ok.

Sorry to butt in here.
If John was born 1893, the death you found was in 1908,different area.??
Or am I missing something here.
