Brown is what I saw at first - before reading the rest of the replies and before comparing the first letter with the 'B' of Banns

Oh Gosh Boo - I was looking at the bride's mother's surname -- so sorry.

Yes - another vote for the groom's mother's surname as Brown.

Can I ask where this image comes from and is there a link that we can see the original please. It could help to see more so as to compare other possible first letter matches.

Its a Marriage Record from Scotland's People so the only way to see it is to pay for it

Apologies but I have been out and I only picked up latest messages just now. Thanks to all who have replied.

GC1 - The crop is from a SP marriage record. I think the forum rules do not allow the full record to be posted. I now accept the surname is Brown.

Softly Softly - Many thanks for your efforts. I much appreciate your assistance. I do hope you are not out of pocket. I am trying to link my Henderson line to a match on MH. I have built up his tree from a female Henderson at the top through the line posted by GC1 on Family Search. I will need to study your posts in more detail tonight as again I have to go out. I have been trying to trace my Irish ethnicity since my test in 2020. It looks as though you might have found it!

I will update this thread tomorrow.
