I have a problem with some of the information found on a marriage certificate and wonder if anyone can advise.
Under the mother's information it states 'Margaret Fowlie, afterwards wife of Alexander .......' which I cannot make out to be that of her husband, Alexander McLeod, but perhaps it's just the awful writing!
But why add the bit 'afterwards wife of......' and just not leave it at her maiden name?
Any offers and apologies if I'm being thick!
