      Name: Catherine Janet Gray, wife of Andrew Gray
      Date: 1931, April 17, 11h 30m PM at 15 Burt Avenue, Kinghorn, Fife
      Sex: Female
      Age: 65 years
      Parents: John Wilkie, Shepherd, Deceased & Agnes Wilkie M.S. Bethune, deceased

      Informant: Andrew Gray, Widower, Present
      Registered: 1931, April 18th at Kinghorn, John Drummond, Registrar

      *** Note there isn't a 'child named John' or at least I haven't located one - however on the 1911 Census, Catherine states she had 10 children with 6 living and certainly the census date for 1911 was taken on 2nd April 1911 and thus Catherine wouldn't have counted Jemima's death in July 1911.
