Help with names on death record?
« on: Friday 31 March 17 18:59 BST (UK) »
I'm struggling with some of this death record - in particular the maiden name of the mother.

I think it says John McLagan, farmer, deceased (I'm not 100% on farmer but looks most likely!)

Then Julia McLagan M.S. G???? (deceased). I'm not even sure on the G.

Thanks for any help.

Possibly Young?

I think Young is good call, it certainly looks like a Y at the start, and if you compare the g in the middle of McLagan above it looks the same of the last letter of the name, what was confusing me at first was the tail of the g above looking like part of the name underneath.
