Help with handwriting in Marriage certificate
« on: Thursday 20 February 14 09:53 GMT (UK) »
HI there

I would greatly appreciate any assistance with deciphering the maiden name of the mother of Evan McKay on the attached certificate. It is located in the 'Parents' section of the marriage of Evan McKay and Catherine McKinnon. The first name is 'Catherine' and the maiden name starts with 'Mc" but that is all I can work out!

Kind Regards

Ian A

Hi Looby

It is in Geelong in Victoria, Australia, a town not far from Melbourne.

Cheers
