Something pat77 didn’t mention is that the 1877 Scottish marriage cert shows the father John Mejury as deceased, and mother Isabella Scott still alive. So the 1897 death is presumably not the right man.

I can’t see an Isabella M death post 1877 that might fit.

Yes, There have been several different spellings when they had children. Of course it was a clerk or registrar that would write the names and maybe just put what it ' sounds like'. Plus, I have so many Irish relatives that changed the spelling of their names when they came over here. Patsy
