Title: Having difficulty with a 18th century marriage surname
Post by: dobfarm on Sunday 21 September 25 10:32 BST (UK)

Hi  All

Please! - I wonder if any member of Rootchat has access to view the original image of this 18th century marriage below to try and make sense of the brides surname.

William Jackson X Elisabeth Mawlivern (As written on familysearch)
Married 27th January 1723 Selby Yorkshire.


Thanks in advance.

Thank Sue,

Great help!

'McGivern' or MacGivern

Hope you and OH are keeping well  :)

Take care!

Dave.

I would suggest Mawliverer. Maybe look at Mauleverer too.
