Occupation, 1866 Scottish Marriage (COMPLETED)
« on: Sunday 25 March 18 11:54 BST (UK) »
Hello,

I am usually ok at reading documents such as this one but I'm having great difficulty working out what the occupation of the groom's father, Isaac Newton, is on this marriage record of 1866 (Scotland).

Can anyone decipher this? Drum something maybe?

Thank you!

Hi

It says 'Drum Major (Deceased)'

Cheers

Thank you ever so much.

As always, it seems obvious once you read it knowing what it is!


Thanks again
