(In Scotlands records women retain their own birth names which appear on headstones and in legal documents)

Janette Agnes Whyte H Brown. The "H" stands for Howard.  I did not realise that in Scotland women retain their own birth-names which in Scottish records appear on headstones and in Legal Documents.  

Scottish records are wonderful to research. On a birth certificate for example are time and place of birth, name of parents, date and place of parents marriage and mother's maiden name.

Death certificates  will record marriage partners  and dates of marriage exisiting and past.

They are indeed amazingly wonderful - containing so much information - sheds much light.
