I like your suggestion of Cronan Ian.  :)

I initially thought the first vowel was an a because of the downstroke on the right of the letter, but I see in other examples of o such as in Bachelor, that also has the same downstroke to the right.

If location fits, it might be right.

I would also consider purchasing the Australian death certificate/s. No guarantees, but may be worth a gamble.

Who and when did Janet marry in Australia?
Added: Was it John McGregor in 1874?

Reason for asking was I thought there may be newspaper mentions of the family, obits (which often mention places of birth) etc, but with such common names may be an impossible task.

Is it possible to post more of the image please for letter comparison as the initials of the 1st 2 words are difficult to work out?
