Unknown maiden name
« on: Sunday 01 November 09 10:12 UTC (UK) »
I have a maiden name for my great great grandmother Margaret on a birth certificate but I cannot quite make it out.  She married John O'Hara (Labourer) and had daughter Margaret O'Hara on 08/08/1897 in Omagh before moving to Ballymena.

I am reproducing it here.  Can anyone work it out or does anyone recognise the surname?  I realise it might be better if you can see the rest of the handwriting though.

It looks like two words, not one?

Thanks

Richard

I'd say Mc Sorley

see the S on the registrars details (Assistant Supt.) for comparison..

It's Mcsorley.He's seperated the Mc from the rest of the name.

Brilliant!  Many thanks.  I just need to find out from PRONI now when and where John O'Hara married a Margaret McSorley.

Thanks for everyone's help
