Help reading first name and maiden name
« on: Wednesday 01 December 10 10:13 GMT (UK) »
Hi
 
I am having trouble reading the names on this marriage certificate. OK with Charles Hunter not sure if next name is Anne or June. I cannot decipher the former surname either, looks like it starts with a C. OK with Charles O'hara and Mary Ann O'Hara formerley Hines.

Any opinions appreciated.

That's certainly the way I read it.

Charles Hunter
Anne Hunter formerly Colgate
Charles O'Hara
Anne O'Hara formerly Hines

Odd isn't it - having two couples with the same names - or isn't it??

Wiggy 
Gaunt, Ransom, McNally, Stanfield, Kimberley. (Tasmania)
Brown, Johnstone, Eskdale, Brand  (Dumfriesshire,  Scotland)
Booth, Bruerton, Deakin, Wilkes, Kimberley
(Warwicks, Staffords)
Gaunt (Yorks)
Percy, Dunning, Hyne, Grigg, Farley (Devon, UK)
Duncan (Fife, Devon), Hugh, Blee (Cornwall)
Green, Mansfield, (Herts)
Cavenaugh, Ransom (Middlesex)

Hi All,

Thanks for that. I can see that now. I was reading it  as something completely different.

Cheers

... and of course looking at it in the light of day, second one is  Mary Ann ... as you said in OP ; - ) mare aka Maryanne
... but same spelling as that on my birth cert lol

and another ps ... some names are regular combinations though Wiggy ... have a few of them among friends as well, makes it difficult to know who referring to in conversation ... in my tree it's Sarahs and Samuels/Williams
