Help to decipher profession of Alice Edith Watson married in Glasgow 17 Dec 1934
« on: Wednesday 28 May 25 11:59 BST (UK) »
Alice Edith Watson was married to Robert Gordon Simpson in Glasgow 17th December 1934.

Robert is described as Physician and Surgeon but I’m struggling to read Alice’s profession, all thoughts welcome.

I have:

Alice Edith
Watson
signature
A. Edith Watson

Many thanks

Brilliant, could it be Revenue before Department?
