What country?
What date?
What cert is it?

My guess for the formerly is MILLER
first thought for the other is MUELLER but there doesn't seem to be an ultimate R and the second upright is not the same as the one preceding it.  So really don't know.

If you could give a bit more information someone might be able to come at it from another way.

Agree re Miller for the maiden name.   I wondered if the other surname was Meuke??

MEULHE or MEULKE
A Prussian name.
Might originally have been MÜLLER or MÖLLE, but written by a non-German speaker from how it sounded.

(NB> Not enough of the document posted to see formation of hand writing.)
