Decifering writing: DUFFY, John and GAFFNEY, Margaret
« Reply #9 on: Wednesday 28 March 18 00:30 BST (UK) »
All,
   Found the original of the marriage certificate.  Can decipher every thing but the name of my Great-Great Grandmother or her maiden name.
She is Somebody Duffy (Duffy is married name)
maiden name _______ham?
If anyone is a member of the Scotlandpeoples.com or has access I would appreciate any help in what you think the name(s) are.   They were married 7 May 1861 in Kilbirnie, Ayr.  I can read the rest.  Only missing this one vital link.
Thanks

    Found the marriage certificate.  If you look at my recent post, I have one frustration with it on deciphering a name.

     The descriptions of Portland Row in 1913 were fascinating.  Can't imagine what it was like in the 1860's; 70's & 80's.   Ugly.

Hi MDC,

I've taken a look and I think the name is Graham.

The image is a bit patchy isn't it. You can messsge Scotlands People and ask if the image can be enhanced - just click on the orange "Report an issue" icon. I've done this in the past and S P always respond fairly quickly and have given me an improved and clearer version.

Looby :)
