What does LDS mean please ?
« on: Tuesday 18 August 09 23:03 BST (UK) »
Hello.
         I am looking at a marriage certificate from Elgin, Scotland for John Cormack married in October 1910, after his name it says L.D.S. I do not know what his occupation was but his father was a dentist, could this refer to a dental qualification if he followed in his fathers footsteps ?

Licentiate in Dental Surgery.  That certainly was the meaning at the start of the 19th 20th century.  Whoops! my dictionary isn't that old!!

Licentiate in Dental Suffering
In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth
