Maiden name??

[weeabi99]

Hi everyone! Looking for a bit of help on deciphering my great great grandmother's maiden name. Her name is Jean Groat, but I can't make out the maiden name! I thought it looked like 'Driver' or 'Dever' but I've done some thorough searches on ScotlandsPeople and the only marriage that comes up that could be my great great grandparents, the name is Jean Moodie, but I don't think the writing on this looks anything like 'Moodie'!

If it helps, they were from Shetland. Thank you

It certainly looks like Driver to me.

My immediate reading of it was Driver as well.

Agree, looks like Driver

Thank you all, good to know I'm not going mad! Will continue the search for a Jean Driver.
I've had a bit of spare time recently and I've been looking up lots of birth/marriage certificates, some of which I'm struggling to read.
Is it ok if I post them here rather than starting a new thread?
Very much appreciated, thank you!

Hi There is a Jane Drever married James Groat 1892 in Orkney. Jane Drever death in Orkney 1964. I looked on Scotlands people no Driver , could it be a spelling error.

Hi, thanks so much for your help! Was it scotlandspeople you found Drever on? Certainly could be a spelling error. Will have a look in a few days as quite busy at moment!
