According to the HUll Packet Newspaper in March 1853, William Finningley died on 13 March 1853 at Leith. I have tried to find the death in the Death records on Scotlands People but obviously the spelling of the surname in incorrect. Could some one please find out the way it has been spelt so I can order the certificate?
I have got his wife Helen who died in 1858 with the correct spelling.
Cheers from South Australia
Danielle.

Civil registration started in Scotland only in 1855, so you'll need to search OPRs instead.

On Scotland's People, there is a result coming up for William FINNINGLEY on 13 March 1853.
