Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Struggling to Read a marriage certificate
« on: Sunday 03 November 24 07:33 GMT (UK)  »
Brilliant, thanks for everyone's help.
The mother's maiden name is Broomfield. I was able to pick it up her death certificate on Scotland's people, although her age was wrong by 10 years, however correct on her burial documentation.
So much other information given as well, very grateful.
I have been struggling with the the various spellings of Gatherum as well.
From the various census, Mary and James were often apart and I was wondering how common this was in the mining community. My ancestors were agricultural labourers/crofters in North East in Aberdeenshire/Banffshire and seemed to stay relatively fixed to the area and together.
Thanks
Andy

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Struggling to Read a marriage certificate
« on: Saturday 02 November 24 18:51 GMT (UK)  »
First time posting, so not sure if this the best way to ask.
Need help trying to read a marriage certificate for Mary Fletcher. In particular it is her parents names.
Looks like John Fletcher, can't work out occupation and the maiden name of the mother. The witness names might also be handy.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Andy
