If something has been added in a different hand, shouldn't there be a note in the (right hand?) margin?
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

Hi y'all  Just adding my two pennies worth ( strange innit how we all look at the same thing yet can see something different ;D  I think that  what some people are reading as an F in Flehanney could be an M as in Mc and the line that makes it look like the top line of a capital F could  in fact be part  of the closing bracket  from the line above . So I think that it could be a name like McNairy  or Mc Henry or similar ....maybe .... :-\ ???

This is what has puzzled me...amongst other things here  ::) ;)...any formal edits and corrections are normally clearly marked with a corresponding clerical note on the l/h margin on the register. There isn't anything showing against this entry. The inference being it was written up at the same time perhaps?

Like Brevitas, have seen too many Scottish BMDs  :P Haven't come across this before when an additional annotation just sits there and doesn't make sense!

I even checked the cert again and there's nothing. I assume that it was written up nicely and just the pencil scrawl added( or vice versa)!

I'm now getting mixed up between threads - I  have found a possible Jane Finnie but will have to do some more work on her.
