Dear p.risboy, I have looked for the suggested information in post #6 from Gibbo. But unfortunately I see no important information. Thank you anyway.

I haven't got her death certificate. Not yet. I'm just in the beginning of my research, appreciating every little hint about Jenny's first 19 years in Scottland.
