Help with a witness first name please
« on: Thursday 29 May 25 10:14 BST (UK) »
Hi
For the second marriage on this page, Robert Rogerson and Helen Kelly, I'm having trouble with the first name of the first witness, somebody McCulloch.  It looks like there's been 3 attempts at writing it on this copy.
(Just by the way... Robert is brother of my 2xgreat grandfather, and Helen is sister of my 2xgreat grandmother)
Many thanks
Carol

1881 census has this Ivie as born at Dalmellington, Ayrshire, 1845. By 1891 he is in England, at Elswick.
