All care was taken to ensure accuracy, but occasionally it isn’t possible to read the information, due to the quality of the surviving documents. When a best guess was made, this is indicated with a question mark in brackets (?). When one or more characters could not be identified, they are replaced with ‘#’. We cannot be held responsible for errors made as the transcriptions. These were made to the best of our ability.
The lists below are in order in which they were published in their respective newspapers. They may not be in strict chronological order. You can either read through the monthly listings, or you can use the search facility at the top-left corner of this page.

If you use speech marks ”James Smith” you will only get the full name coming up. You can just search for a surname or even a street name if you wish. The HappyHaggis website if fully searchable.

PERTH – SUDDEN DEATH – Died at Perth on Sabbath morning last, Walter Miller Esq., who had been for fifty years in the service of the Perth Banking Company. Mr Miller was sitting in the public reading room perusing the newspapers on Saturday evening when he suddenly fell from his seat upon the floor. Medical assistance was speedily procured and with proper attention, he so far recovered as to admit of his being carried down stairs in an arm-chair, and taken home in a noddy. During the night he rallied a little, and became quite sensible, but gradually got worse again, and died early on Sabbath morning. As stated above Mr Miller was, for the long period of fifty years, in the employment of the Perth Banking Company, by whose liberality he retired several years ago upon a handsome pension. Awarded in consideration of his long and faithful services. He was universally respected and well known at least by name, both in town and country, from the circumstance that, for many years, the notes of the Perth Bank were payable to “Walter Miller or bearer”. – Scotsman.
SUDDEN DEATH – Early in the morning of the 2d instant, James McCart, labourer in Pollockshaws, was found dead in his arm-chair, at the fire-side, a short time after the other members of his family had gone to bed. From the circumstances of no medical man having been called, and the body having been buried same day, the Procurator-Fiscal made inquiries into the case, and reported it to the Sheriff; but there is every reason to suppose that McCart died from natural causes, being rather an infirm old man, and subject to fits of severe coughing, by one of which caused perhaps, by over indulgence, on new year’s day, it is believed, he was carried off.

Mr Shanks’s hat and whip, also the horse harness, were found near the gig, but no trace of himself could be discovered until late on Saturday afternoon, when his body was found in the river Dee a little below the new railway bridge. From several circumstances that have transpired, it is believed that he must have been murdered. It was observed that there were no marks of any struggle near where the gig was found. It is hence supposed that the deceased has been attacked upon the road, and that the murderers had turned the gig into the ditch after they had stript the horse of his harness. – Scotsman.

The deceased was employed at the St Rollox Chemical Works.
SUDDEN DEATH AT KILMARNOCK – With much pain we have this week to record the sudden death of Mr Robert Wyllie, wright, which occurred through his inadventertly swallowing a fish bone. Mr Wyllie was in his usual health on Sabbath and attended church. He died on Tuesday morning last. He has been for many years a member of the Low Church session, and in him the poor have lost a zealous friend. His temper was rarely ruffled, and he was famous for his witty and quaint remarks. – Kilmarnock Journal.
