Willam Mechan and Elizabeth McAllister marriage
« on: Sunday 25 June 17 00:30 BST (UK) »
This is a 1907 Scottish marriage record.
Can you make out the small lettering above the grooms name and then above the bride's name on the first column? Also the following:
The maiden name of Eliza Mechan.
The profession of John MacAllister.
John McAllister's wife's name and her maiden name.
Many thanks.

Could it be "signed" in small letters?

Mechan maiden name ? Dowey

Iron moulder is the profession

Agnes McAllister nee Mitchell - that one's quite clear

That's what I thought too CaroleW but I needed another pair of eyes to confirm. Thank you.
