The following record has been transcribed from the Scottish civil registration death indexes for the district of Old Aberdeen.

I am posting the info here in case it's of interest to other researchers. However, I have no connection to nor do I have further info about any of the persons mentioned below. I also do not vouch for the complete accuracy of this info so, if you have a connection to this family, I recommend you verify the details in the original source. Where question marks are inserted, this means that the handwriting was difficult to read and, therefore, the transcription of these particular words may be incorrect
