Hi
There are no death certificates before the year 1855. The only entry you
might get is one in an old parish register (OPR) and it will give very little
information .....usually only the date and the name ...... maybe the age.
Death registers have not survived in most parishes ....... but they have in
Mauchline. If that is where you found your dates then that is as much
information as you will get from the OPRs
