Struggling with two names on this entry
« on: Sunday 07 May 23 16:14 BST (UK) »
Attached is the register entry for a death on Arran in 1860. 

Unfortunately it does not give me the name of the husband and the name of her mother is difficult to read exactly.  I've played around with some settings but haven't managed to make it any clearer  :(

The name of the informant has also got me scratching my head. 

Please can anyone help reading either or both of them?

Thanks

Nell

Mary MS McKinnon ?

Add - or, for clarity, as it's written:

Mary Downie
maiden name
McKinnon

John Cook, a journeyman mason, married Janet Downie in Kilbride (Arran) 2-1-1833.

Archibald McKinnon married Janet Cook in Kilbride (Arran) in 1858.

I think the informant is "Archd" McKinnon.

The informant is the son in law, but I can't see that last name looking like "McKinnon".

I'm also struggling with the son in law.

The entry on the marriage cert in 1858  that GR2 mentions has Janet Cook as a Spinster, aged 25.
Parents are given as John Cook, Mason and Janet Cook, maiden name Downie.
