Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Agree with Sarah Fitzpatrick.

MS = Maiden Surname, which does look very much like Regan.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

David

Oops - of course it's a Scottish cert!  My mind was working on English censuses  :-X

M.S = Maiden surname, as David says.

Thanks for all your help. I'll get used to that script one day!

Hi,

To me, the second letter of Sarah's maiden name looks like a closed 'o' rather than an 'e' and I wondered if it was Hogan or Rogan, rather than Regan.

Just a thought.

I'm not convinced by Regan, either. My bet would be Hogan.
