I am looking for Joan Webster who is probably in her late 60's. Her parents were George and Lillian and her grandparents were Elizabeth Rae and Charles, they all came from Scotland. Joan may have married so her name would be different. George and Lillian adopted Joan when she was little and I last saw her in the late 60's.
I realise this is a long shot but you never know.
Thanks for reading

Have you done anything about looking for info yourself? For instance, a marriage? Or the deaths of her parents?
Where was she living when you last saw her?

I have looked for her and have the deaths of her parents and grandparents. I think she may have lived in the St Andrews area in the 60's.

Who registered the deaths of her parents?

Where did the last one die? And when?

Where have you looked for possible marriage for her?

I don't know who registered the deaths. Her mother died in Largs in 2007 aged 100. found that on Scotlands people as a free search.

I don't know how to find out about registration of deaths. Some of what I know ive found from grave stones of other relatives.

To find out who registered the death, you need a copy of the death cert. When the current emergency ends, you will be able to order one through SP website

You would have to buy the death certificate to see who registered the death. There should be an address for the informant and you could then try to contact them by post to see if they could help you in your search.
