Can anyone help please Thomas Ritchie died 1966 Glasgow aged 86 if anyone has access to Scottish records l only need info from his death certificate thanks

Afraid no one has access to death certs .you have to buy a copy of the certificate

For Scottish records these are on Scotlands People website and you buy the cert through them . Think they cost £12

Caza. may not be what you need but there is some info on what may be his probate record, if he was Thomas Taylor Ritchie 1966

https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills

RITCHIE
THOMAS
86
1966
645/2 311
Glasgow

As the death is over 50 years ago the certificate will be available to look at and download on Scotland's People. (75 years for marriages and 100 for births. Any younger than that and you would have to purchase them through the site)

You have to register - the result above is one of 5 for Thomas Ritchie's in 1966 which are free. You will need to purchase credits - 30 for £7.50 and use 6 of them to look at and download. That will leave you a few credits for any other Scottish records you may want to look at.

If anyone is visiting the Mitchell library in Glasgow and would be will I g to do a newspaper obituary lookup as well as a grave lookup for Thomas Ritchie l would be reallygrateful

By the way, for future reference, the probate search website mentioned by Rambling does not have Scottish Wills on it.

Info re Scottish Wills here:

https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/research/guides/wills-and-testaments

Wills from 1513 to 1925 are also viewable on Scotlands People, for 10 credits each.

Caza - have you now got a copy of the death cert?
Anyone looking for his burial record at the Mitchell will need to know exact date of death, and last known address.

Any chance that this may be him?

Erika -
Caza has the death cert, and is now looking for " a newspaper obituary lookup as well as a grave lookup ".

The initial request was for 'info from the death cert'

I don't see any mention of its having been bought - although I see now that the details posted on the 16th are probably from the cert.

The death certificate was sent to Caza- details posted above. He died March 17th
