Mother's Maiden name on a Scottish Death Cert?

[Gadget]

Could I add that the signature on the death cert is not in the same hand as the rest of the entry, so one must assume it is that of the uncle.

Yes, as Brevitas has commented, the signatures of Donald Cameron on both certs distinctly different to that by the Registrar.

Brevitas and I have added some more background now to the other post if anyone is curious where this is going (I am quietly excited  ).

Hi,

Just a suggestion but could the mothers maiden name be Finnie? Just sounding Fine phonetically

Fin eee?

Can't make out the word/words above but it looks like "something name".

Hope you solve the mystery!

Hi Loobylooayr

Thank you for you comments 

Hopefully an enhanced image from Scotlands People might help!

I am certainly puzzled by what is there too.

emjaye followed the advice and contacted SP regarding the illegibility of the words around the mother Jane's name. Quoting from emjaye's posting on the other thread:

Hi All,

This is the reply from SP:

I have taken a look in the register but unfortunately my colleagues and I are slightly at a loss as how to interpret what's written. Jane's surname was obviously unknown to the informant, hence the line after her forename, but it looks as if he has attempted to guess at it and the clerk has written it down in pencil. The word in ink appears to read 'Fine', although whether that refers to the surname of something else we really cannot say. I'm afraid the writing in pencil is too difficult to make out with any certainty, although it does seem to start with an 'F'.
I'm sorry not to have been of more help in this instance.

not much help I'm afraid......

The f of fine in brackets is slightly different to the F above. Bit more squashed. Thine? above the brackets it looks like nee harvey maybe?

I think that they're written in different hands
