help with condition on marriage cert

[Sam Stoat]

I need some help with the condition on this marriage certificate. I can read 'formerly the husband of Agnes Calder formerly Burnley (?) (?) from whom he obtained a divorce'. Can anyone read the missing words?

[gillybilly]

I think the word just says 'spinster.'

[Sam Stoat]

Now you mention it, it does look like that. Thank you.

I have a marriage certificate for a divorced woman and under name and surname in column 2, it has 'Margaret Cockton formerly Stephenson (her maiden name) Spinster'

On my great grandparents' certificate my great grandfather is described as a bachelor despite having been married before. So, he was probably a widower or divorcee. But! no-one has so far traced the divorce or death. So, there is a remote posibility it could be more interesting!
