MORRISON/CUTHBERT

[jeannie69]

I am still searching for information on my family origins in scotland. A very kind lady looked up the registrar in Barrhead and found the death certificate details of my grandmother Jane Morrison nee:Cuthbert.
I know she died at age 46 but I don't know where she was born or where she grew up. I also don't know where my grandfather William Morrison was born but I know he grew up in Neilston and died in Dunlop. Where he is buried I don't know. Can anyone tell me where I should be looking to find this information please? Thankyou I know there is an answer out there somewhere Jean McDowell nee:Morrison
