Re: Family Search: Walter HILL and Margaret WATSON GLOSSERT
Hi coldshuga,
Their birth certificates can be viewed on http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk on a pay per view basis. Also there is the 1902 death certificate for Margaret Hill (ms Grossert). Be careful not to restrict yourself to a single spelling for Margaret's maiden surname. Her marriage to Walter has her as GROSSART, her death shows GROSSERT. When searching on ScotlandsPeople I used wildcards G*SS*T to cover for what I took as likely variants of that surname.
Walter's death certificate can also be found on ScotlandsPeople if you give or take a few years on his age. Although he died in the poorhouse, a usual residence address is given. I would take that to (probably) mean that he was in the hospital part of the poorhouse, as it was just before the establishment of the National Health Service, so no free health care (in standard hospitals) for all in that year. The death was registered by one of his daughters, so it looks like she never emigrated.
All the best,
AndrewP
