Deciphering Surname on Birth Certificate
« on: Saturday 17 June 17 14:00 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me figure out what this is supposed to say? I know the top bit reads "Bridget McCormick" but I'm trying to decipher what's written under "Formerly" and I'm drawing a complete blank. I'm pretty sure my family tree ends here if no one can figure out what this person tried to write in 1877.

But then, looking at the m in mccormack above, the double c could be an m perhaps.

Edited:  misread original post

Can you say who the birth certificate is for and where in the country
James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

If this is the mother's maiden name on a child's birth certificate, purchasing the birth certificate of another of her children may be worth consideration.  :)

You may also be able to find her marriage to Mr Mc Cormick which would give you her maiden surname.

Sorry for cropping it poorly, I didn't think before posting.

It's a birth certificate for Anne McCormick, parents John McCormick and Bridget McCormick, in the year 1877.

Handwriting for the whole thing kind of verges on illegible - the only reason I know it's even supposed to say Anne is that it's identified as such on the site.
