Title: Violet Catherine Sherman(Ireland)
Post by: Hydes on Saturday 29 November 25 06:52 GMT (UK)
Can anyone tell me the maiden name for Violets mother?
I'm seeing Coy?
However I'm sure i had her listed else where as Mccaw?

Thankyou

Thankyou!
Would this be different from Mccaw?

Added the marriage to my post.

The registrar or vicar/priest would probably have written down what he heard.

Lots of names can have various spellings.

Maybe check the entry that mentions McCaw, to see if it's in fact McCoy

Or as Eyesee mentioned, McCoy here may have been written down as it was heard

 Eyesee,
Thankyou so much. Must have missed the link when I first looked.

Was trying to find their move to Glasgow so perhaps I need to search both names

Her death was listed as mccaw that's why I was confused
