I'm used to reading Scottish certificates. it nearly always takes that form ~

Father's name
occupation

Mother's name
Maiden surname

Also deceased is entered if the person is dead.

I think what confused me was it said Tenant and Eric On the other certificates the wife is usually on a separate line.

I think they were trying to fit in a lot of words!

Re Eric:

English and Scottish from the Scottish formation Eric + -a and also from the Latin name for "heather" [see also Heather].

Erica is one of the many Anglicized forms of the Gaelic Oighrig.
