Is the name 'Irans' or 'Irons'?

[Kiltaglassan]

It does look like Indus. 

I see Indus too!

Is there any way it could start with M? Looking at m.s. and McCormick?

As mentioned before I would contact S P and see if they can help
I did notice that Frances had a daughter Esther ( McGennis ) Beggs but not seeing anything so far

John is right it looks like the M in M/S
Maiden Surname
So could be followed by cl....?

How do I go about requesting a clearer copy from SP. ?

I think.Mcgennis was Esther's married name as she has a  child with that surname

Thank you Rosie I've done that now

Although Francess states birthplace as Perth on all the Glasgow census her birth year varies between 1851 and 1861

 I believe the most likely is 1858 ...I dont see why she would lie on marriage unless she was younger than 17.
may have been born in England...or Ireland as there are DNA and paper links to other Mansfield s ?.
Or Canada if the regiment for her father is correct .

[rosie17]

Yes it's a pity we can't find her before the 1881 census tried looking for the father Alexander Mansfield on Military records but no luck either
