Could I please ask for a look up for Thomas McLuskey d.o.b. 1911 Anderston,Glasgow.

I can't seem to find a death for him on Scotlandspeople , although I am finding it very hard to find any deaths on the new website , we used to be able to put in an approx d.o.b. but now that facility seems to have vanished .

I have noticed on Ancestry there is a Thomas McLuskey , Merchant Seaman Death in 1940 , any help would be great,
Thank you

Chris Ho :)

All Thomas McLuskey deaths 1911 - 2011 in Scotland show only this one that is of an age to have been born 1911. As the death is over 50 years ago you would be able to look at the certificate on SP for 6 credits

You are right Chris,

James was Thomas's father.

I found James's death on Scotlandspeople, he died in 1916 in Glasgow.
