Could do with some help locating Julia Oliphant , parents are George Oliphant and Margaret Johnstoun according to Scotlandspeople.

Julia was baptised 4/7/1742 in Dalmeney, West Lothian but I cannot find anything more about her,

thank you

Sorry, Yes should have said she had 3 siblings, Helen b 1744, John b 1739 and Elizabeth b 1747.

I have only found a marriage and death for Elizabeth, still looking for the others but thought i would try Julia first .

Death of one of George's daughters (assuming the same George) - no age given.
Presumably either Helen or Julia, unless there was another birth not recorded.

Thank you ArgyllGran,
I will take a look on SP, when it's up and running again , all I am getting at the moment is Error 505 which seems to be standard for Sp.

shame there's no age but thank you for looking.

I'm afraid it's not likely either of those are for Helen or Julia, malyon - apart from the fact that there were lots of Oliphant deaths all over the UK, those two deaths would mean they were 100 years old, or more.
