I will put up the whole certificate. It is the death of their daughter Jean.
I want to go one generation back but need a surname to do so.
Many thanks
Carol

As an alternative, could it be a capital H? Haw?

It could be Hawson?
I know the last part of the name is on the next line. Son.
So something ending in son
This is a 4-year brick wall that I would like to knockdown

It looks like Hawson with Haw and -son on the line below. See Carol has beaten me to it.

I've been looking at it for 4 years but not sure.
Will have to go on Scotland's people and see if I can find a Jeanie, Jean, Jane Hawson marrying a John Scott.

Thanks for all your help.

Looks like Hawson. The -son is a continuation of the surname

Carol, when searching for the surname, this one will have variants in spelling for sure.

Might be worth searching for it as H*ws*n. I have seen the following variants: Hewson, Howson, Howston, Howstown etc....
