HELP - Cannot Read :D
« on: Thursday 01 December 22 07:52 GMT (UK) »
So trying to decipher this marriage certificate, pretty much struggling with most of it if honest. What i know is this is the marriage of William McGowan to Margaret Earlie. So trying to get as much as possible.

Want to know where to go next as looking for Williams birth place and parents. As always any help welcomed and appreciated :)

William's parents are John = Iron Work Labourer and Margaret = formerly Healy

Margaret's parents are William = Coal Miner and Ann(i)e formerly Lixton or Sixton (deceased)

 :-\ :-\  There appears to be a definite "dot" over the second letter of her former surname.

I think Annie's surname is Sexton with what looks almost like a dot over second letter part of the 'e.'

If you want to find William's parents and place of birth you could check census records to see what's listed as place of birth and go from there.
