Janet Shanks
MS Leggat (ie Maiden Surname)

Same with MS Hamilton  :)

I thought that James's address was 16 rather than 11 (16 with the upstroke missing/faded  :))

I'll give you Power Loom and MS for Maiden Surname, Ruskie! ;D

Not sure about Weaver, though? Could it be Factor? :-\

To add that it is interesting that a Congregation Church wedding took place in the bride's home.

Yes, could be Winder. I don't think the first letter is an F (check with T of Tailor which is similar in form) - first letter is wider than an F, so djm might be right I think.

I believe that was fairly common in Scotland.
