A contact very kindly sent me a transcript of the death cert of my 4 x GGM.
Her maiden name is written as SMEAKIN on the cert.
On her gravestone it is written SMEECHM.
I have trawled Ancestry and the IGI - not a single incidence of either name or anything like it. I did think Meachim or Meakins as I found just TWO in Berwick (where she was born, about 1775).
Can anyone please suggest a possible name, hopefully based on knowledge of Berwick/Northumberland names?
