Help reading ames on marriage certificate
« on: Thursday 29 April 21 21:39 BST (UK) »
Evening all,

I was hoping someone here could kindly use their keen eye to read a couple of names on a marriage certificate. I'm struggling to read John Mechan's wife maiden name (Rose Cairns?) and Patrick McDonald's wife maiden name (.... McMahon?).

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you all.

I think she is Rose Cousins.

Still working on the other one!

Added:
Juliet?
Are there any other uncrossed 't's on the page?
The upstroke of the 't' in 'Patrick' is not crossed - the bar comes later over the next couple of letters.
