Help please with names of mothers
« on: Wednesday 11 October 17 00:09 BST (UK) »
I have a copy of a marriage certificate that is very hard to make out the maiden names of the mothers of both the bride and groom. I am hoping someone on here can do their magic and help me out by deciphering the names for me.  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Could be:

Ellen / Eileen 's  M.S.  looks like Limerick ???

Catherine's M.S. looks like Bestor or Bester ???

Nice looking writing but hard to read

Dawn M
Denys (France); Rossier/Rousseau (Switzerland); Montgomery (Antrim, IRL & North Sydney NSW);  Finn (Co.Carlow, IRL & NSW); Wilson (Leicestershire & NSW); Blue (Sydney NSW); Fisher & Barrago & Harrington(all Tipperary, IRL)

Thanks for the quick reply Billyblue, i thought the along the same lines Limerick or Beston/ beaton. Hopefully others can put there ideas forward to see if we are close in our guessing the names.

I see Beston

At first glance I thought Limerick.

What's the surname of the groom?

Thanks for the reply Jamjar. The groom is Edward Ferns, they have him down as Edward Farne in the certificate though.

I see Limerick, but is her first name Ellen?  I thought it was until I compared the E to that of Edward, and now am wondering if it could be Nan?  Either way, I can't find any marriages that match for the parents.
I see Beston for Catherine.

I'm glad you informed us that the groom was Ferns.  I read it as Torne!
