Hello,

I've uploaded the MC for William & Joan. He was a widower and she a widow when they married in 1912. That is all I can read from the MC.

Hi Dennis,

Hopefully someone else will come up with something positive but this is definitely an image that requires a contact form and you'll be sent a photocopy.

Hi Dennis,

Here's my best effort, but it leaves a lot of blanks.

1912
On the fifth day of February
at Wellington Lane[?], Leith
After publication According tothe Forms of the United Free Church

William Crawford Anderson, [occuopation?], widower, 53
Joan Moffat or Henry, [occupation?], widow, 40

80 [????] Road, Leith
25 [????], Leith

[????] Anderson, fireman[?}, deceased
[????] Anderson, ms. Crawford, deceased

William Moffat , [occupation?], deceased
Lilias Moffat, ms. [????], deceased

David [????], Minister[?}

Witness [????]
Witness [????]

Take Annette's advice. A photocopy of the original should fill these blanks in.

All the best,

Andrew Paterson

Hi Dennis

I think the Registrars name may be Archer, looking at another effort of his that I have....
..but on another page of entires he makes it look like something else entirely!

OK, found another in his fair hand- thats 2 that look like Archer now..

I'll probably live to regret this, but I'd suggest the registrar may be JWM Archer (she said tentatively...) working from other entries I have of his, on one of his better days, that's what it looks like.

best wishes
Lesley

Hi Dennis,

I don't know where your interest is but a Joan Moffatt married a Mr. Henry in Leith in 1893.
