Have you not got her marriage cert as it should gave names of both parents on it if she married in Scotland

There is a column which asks for the following info:
Name, Surname, and Rank or Profession of Father
Name, and Maiden Surname of Mother


Or was the marriage before 1855 ?

Does it not have this on death cert

There is a column which asks for the following info:
Name, Surname, and Rank or Profession of Father

So I presume you have looked at this record with slight different spelling of surname

Name: Euphemia Millar
Gender: Female
Christening Date: 12 Sep 1824
Christening Place: LIFF BENVIE AND INVERGOWRIE,ANGUS,SCOTLAND
Father's Name: David Millar

Possible siblings are Agnes and David. David can be found easily on 1851

John & Euphemia's marriage record:

26/04/1850 PITKEATHLY JOHN EUPHEMIA MILLAR/ M LONGFORGAN DUNDEE CITY CITY/PERTH 377/00 0040 0287


This is the only marriage of a David Millar/Miller in Longforgan, 1538-1854, and the bride's name agrees with the name found by Beverley:

02/01/1820 MILLER DAVID CATHERINE SPRUNT/FR1386 (FR1386) M METHVEN /PERTH 380/00 0060 0100

If you buy credits on Scotlands People you can view the image, and it might perhaps give you her father's name - but OPR's don't usually give much info


EDIT: The marriage below, found by GlitterBaby, is much more likely to be the right one - I hadn't taken note of Euphemia's birth in Liff.

Need some feedback as to whether the poster has the death cert

GlitterBaby

GlitterBaby Report 25 Feb 2015 10:30

Not helping that some births are registered as MILLER, as William b1826, and others as MILLAR

Longforgan so I will study what you have sent and see if I can find my gt.gt.gt gdad.
