Identifying Names of Witnesses

Post by ColinWH » Tue Nov 20, 2007 8:17 pm

Good evening,
I have uploaded a file to Certficates Help with Deciphering, from ScotlandsPeople, of a Marriage certificate between Walter McLeod & Helen Munro.
I would like to identify the witnesses if possible; a matter of completeness more than anything else.
Can younger eyes than mine make head or tails of them?

Thank you,

Good Evening Colin,

I think they are James Middler and James Napier.

All the best,

AndrewP

As far as I can see the top one is James Middler and the second person is James Napier.

I take that it's Middler & Napier then? :)
Many thanks for the help - and the speed!
