Many thanks for that - it makes sense now that I look at it again.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Occupation from 1885
« on: Wednesday 26 February 20 13:23 GMT (UK) »
I have attached a section of a marriage record from which I'm unable to make out the middle word of the grooms occupation. I can clearly read Packing and Journeyman but the middle word, other than the end which I believe is 'maker', I can't make out.
Any ideas anyone?

Many thanks to you both.
Both seem fairly clear to me now that you've deciphered them!
Can't believe I couldn't see Connel Ferry, Oban!

Can't believe so many of you attempted to translate this document - thanks to you all.
I will take on board all the comments and contact ScotlandsPeople and try for a better image.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Unable to decipher locations on marriage register
« on: Thursday 20 February 20 08:56 GMT (UK) »
I've attached a clipping from a marriage register which took place in Maryhill, Glasgow in 1903.
I can't make out the location of the marriage - looks like 57 ? Avenue in Glasgow. Also, I can't make out where the bride's usual residence is other than Etive Cottage. I've tried searches for both without success so I'm hoping you can come up with suggestions.
(Both bride & groom were born on the Isle of Skye which may be a help with Etive Cottage.)
Many thanks.

I'm amazed you've done so well between you - I think you've just about got there and it's just the last word which is now the main problem.
I'm wondering if it's some sort of pesticide or herbicide he's had to use continuously in the course of his work.
BumbleB - the register was obtained from ScotlandsPeople at the Mitchell Library in Glasgow - I could see immediately that the quality was poor so I doubt if it's possible to obtain a better image.
Many thanks again to all of you - it was a difficult one!

Thanks to all who made the attempt! I knew this was going to be difficult as it's a poor quality copy.
Ruskie - it was a male who was only 49 when he died. He was a farmer so maybe that could be a hint. I should have added that info earlier.
I've tried to enhance the print details but it's pretty difficult - I've added it anyway so here's hoping.
Thanks again for all the efforts so far!

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Cause of death unreadable
« on: Wednesday 19 February 20 13:45 GMT (UK) »
The attached section of a death register refers to a death in 1855.
It's virtually unreadable to me and the only parts I can make out are 'following the long' and '14 days'.
I'd appreciate any help if possible.
Many thanks

Many thanks for that - I would never have come to that conclusion!
