      Jen's idea a good one - or HANKIN?

      H/K a n/w k i n (s)... Hawkins or Hankin, I'd say.

            I think it is Hawkin(s).

              My reason for favouring HANKIN, is that the other name has a comma between it and the associated occupation, and I think the bit that makes the last letter look like an s is actually a similar comma.

                I think its Hawkin and, like Christine says,the comma at the end is mistaken for an s.

                  Sorry, but I completely disagree with you all and think it says:

                  Mary ??? m.s. KIVER

                    Looks like Mary MacKivor to me.

                    Hope it is, cos, I've got a couple of MacKivors.

                      Jacky,

                      If you have a rough idea of when/where they were married you might find the record on Scotlands People (presuming you haven't tried that already). Hopefully it may be a bit easier to read.

                        Agree with Harry's mum, although I see "m.s" (maiden surname), but many of these Scottish certs missed off the Mac or Mc, taking them as read.

                        (Tip for searching early scottish records - add Mc or Mac in front of the name, or subtract it!)

                          Thank you,
                          I cannot find Hankin, Hawkin, Mc Kiver, Kiver or MacKiver
                          The only ones on Scotlands people in the in the years I am looking for are - Mary Russell, Margaret Shields and Margaret Ferguson:(

                            Could be one of those marriages that isn't in the OPR's, of course. Or one of those marriages they had in Scotland where there was no actual marriage ceremony at all, I can't think of the name for it just now...

                              Did they have any other children who were born in Scotland? If so then maybe the baptism / birth entries for those will be easier to read. Can you give us a bit more information - where and when was their child born, for instance? Do you have them on any censuses? Then we will know where to start looking to try to help, as it seems everybody has a different interpretation of the name in the image.
