I think it's likely taken on the day the paper was released - sunny Sunday makes a lottie sense ...
(I would say ah'll get ma coat but it's too hot.)

I think I can date that first photo to 5 June 1949. The headline in the newspaper is about the rail strikes, and if you look carefully you can see it's the same photo. The woman - your granny? - is reading a slightly different edition of this paper (www.findmypast.co.uk/image-viewer...)

Here in the UK, one police force justified attacking protestors by the injuries received by officers. Turned out more than half of these injuries were bee stings. Another was caused by an officer slamming his thumb in a car door ...

Random Feg story: I ended up cooking for the Waterboys when they played St Andrews students union ca1988 - a pal was events coordinator and the caterer didn't turn up after not being paid.
19-year-old me was not a good cook ...

It's a very odd approach they've taken. They could have been very helpful and recorded parents' names - which are usually given in Scottish death records - but no!

Ah yes, in 1855 children's ages were recorded on death certificates, but not those of spouses. After 1855 you won't see children's ages.

There are some spouses, parents and even informants indexed, so they may have grabbed every name. For death records, the person should have an age and hence approximate birth year.
It's very odd though.

They've not got these from FamilySearch, at least not directly. They've received a microfilm from Dunbartonshire archives, and simply scanned and indexed that. They seem to have indexed more than just the deceased's name, but I haven't done a deep enough dive to work out what they have indexed.

I've had a dig through and what they seem to have done is simply extract every name from the record and attach that to the death record. It's systematic, and by (very poor) design.
Not sure it's AI - it could just be a classic case of GIGO in terms of keying rules.

I've been in that house! I bought books from the owner maybe 15 years ago - I recognised the decor so clicked through and checked. I remember it well as my sister was then living round the corner.

I somehow missed this first time around. Hearty congratulations my friend, and well deserved!

Lecturers: There are only 24 hours in a day.
Management: We're thrilled to announce we've redesignated hour to mean 45 minutes, so there are now 32 hours in the day.

A big boy done it and run away.

Freed up a fair chunk of floorspace too! Annoyingly, I had to dismantle the shelves and rebuild them *inside* the cupboard as they wouldn't quite fit.
