Help in Deciphering this name please

[sheila]

Can anyone help me decipher the mother's maiden name on this Scottish death certificate please?

I have seen a marriage for William Carruthers to Mary Mather . I think this name begins with an M but could it be Mather?

[Rosinish]

I would say Maher

Annie

Add....Pronunciation may have sounded different to actual spelling?

[Milliepede]

It doesn't look like Mather but not sure what it is 

What's the squiggle below the line for the second letter, end of the word looks like "an or ar"

[Rosinish]

Did Mary die in Scotland, if so can you narrow down yrs please to see what comes up?

Annie

[Rosinish]

What's the squiggle below the line for the second letter and end of the word looks like "an or on"

Looks like the remnants of the 'd' from 'dec'd'

Annie

[Milliepede]

Goodness yes hadn't thought it may have come "from below"

As Annie wrote (while I was typing) I think the squiggle immediately below the second letter is a superscript 'd' from 'Dec^d' on the line below. It looks as though there may be a similar character at the very top of the snip - there's certainly the dot that would go below it.

With that disregarded, could the resulting surname be Madan? (Is that even a name?)

[Rosinish]

could the resulting surname be Madan? (Is that even a name?)

I know of the name Madden

Sheila, is it possible to post another part of the doc which may contain letters 'd' & 'h' please?

Annie

Thanks for the quick responses.

All I know about Mary was that she wasn't with her husband  William at Fairy Hall , Kirkpatrick Flemming , Dumfriesshire in 1841.

Nor with him at the Toll- bar in Gretna in 1846 so presumably she died pre 1841. One daughter with William at this time was born in 1816.
