Surname help please
« on: Sunday 28 April 13 14:03 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Need help please, with both surnames from marriage certificate. Both names a likely to be of Irish descent.

Benjamin R_______ farmer deceased.
and Ellen Roberts MS  W______ deceased.
I'm confident of the 'W' as it appears a few time on the document as 'W'illiam
SCOTLAND:
Rose of Kilravock,
Roses in Peebles-shire,
Roses in Aberdeenshire

I think it says 'Benjamin Roberts' although the 't' isn't crossed.

Still thinking about the next bit.

Kind regards,
Maggie  :)
