I have searched Scotlands People for her mother's death with no result and her father's name returns over 2000 results. Narrowing it down to East Lothian does not bring any matching results.

I know this isn't helping much but unfortunately the only information we know for definite is what I have already posted.

Is the death in 1987 of Alice Mack other surname Lunn, birth year 1904 not your lady?

Do you have the death registrations for her parents please? If so I take it she wasn't the informant - that would make it too easy lol.

Doing that I get 931 possible marriage matches on Scotlands People and not knowing who or where she may have got married doesn't help narrow it down.

When you are searching for a marriage for Elizabeth are you selecting surname variants and forename variants please? For example if she was known as Lizzie and used that when marrying (as my Great Aunt did) then a marriage using Elizabeth, exact name won't show. Also if she didn't enter her middle names on the marriage registration her marriage would only show as Elizabeth Mack on the indexes.

Marriage record has Robert as 20, so c1906, and Alice as 22, so c1904. Both were living at Auldhame, Whitekirk at time of marriage.

Looking for a bit of help for a friend please :)

Elizabeth Wilson Lunn Baptie Mack was born 2nd Sept 1937 in Aberlady, East Lothian. Her parents Robert Mack and Alice Deans Lunn were married 2nd April 1926 in Whitekirk and Tyningham, East Lothian.

I know they were still at the same address, 6 The Pleasance, Aberlady in 1959 as my friend has a document that states this.

I have searched Scotlands People for a marriage record for Elizabeth but nothing seems to match up. I have also searched for a death record but the only one that comes up for an Elizabeth Mack has a note of other name as Mair. This of course would be a married name but not finding a marriage record for her I am a bit reluctant to pay for the certificate.

I also did a death search for her mother and got no result from Scotlands People.

I tried a quick search on Ancestry but nothing struck me as being a definite match, I also don't have a subscription! :-(

So I guess the question is did they move from Scotland or have I missed something?

Can anyone help shed any light on to her??

Thanks in advance :-)
