Groom name on Marriage certificate COMPLETED

[jwaugh]

HI

I am having problems with the grooms name on the attached marriage certificate. From transcripts it is Nicholas Cornachan from Tully in the Parish of Killead.

The problem I have is i can not find any records of any Cornachan's. Anyone with anyother suggestions on spellings.

With the three versions of the name on the cert it looks like Cormachan to me ...

Hi,
   The marriage listed in Emerald Ancestors shows the name as CORNACHAN. This is the only record of this spelling.

Hi,
   Did a bit of searching and found a number of CONAGHANS.

Hi

Thanks for the replys. Looks like because Nicholas and Mary could not write means that different registers have different spellings.

Thanks to Valerie I have found a few births on Family search all with different surnames!!

Cormican, Cormickan and McCormack.

Looks like a bit more work for me but thanks guys this has knocked down a few bricks in the wall.

I have just found Mary Jane in the 1901 census with the surname McCormick (McCarmick)

If you click "Household Return (Form A)" you might find the name is actually McCormick and McCarmick is a mis-transcription
