Mothers Maiden name

[Kenneal67]

Can anyone make out the maiden name of Margaret Smith?
I am seeing McCutcheon but I cant find a marriage record for John Smith and Margaret McCutcheon

[Wiggy]

McCutcheon is my guess, too.  Possibly without the 'e'.

I agree with Gadget & Wiggy but like yourself I cannot find a marriage record on SP. The only record of a Margaret McCutcheon (using margaret MCCutch*) marrying someone named Smith was in 1900 (James Smith in Old Cumnock).

Could it have been an irregular marriage ?

I am thinking this is them in 1901

Can't be the right entry for William's parents. He is showing as aged 24 when he married in 1906, so born c.1882. The couple, John and Margaret, you have in 1901 are too young to have been his parents.

Do you know where William was born? From the 1911 or 1921 census?

Could it be that Margaret McCutchon married twice and that John Smith was her second husband? In which case the marriage to him could be under her previously married name.

William Smith, mmn McCutchon, born 1872 St Clement? 10 years too old, but you never know.

John Smith married Mary McCutchan in Dundee in 1862. Could Mary be an error for Margaret?

Have you found William and wife in 1911? Where does it say he was born?
