I cannot decipher Rose's maiden name perhaps Mc Alan?

Your input is greatly appreciated, thanks!!

Hello Karen
It looks very much like McAlay to me.

It is a name I'm not familiar with, but when I googled it,
it does indeed show up in quite a few family histories in
Scotland and on various ships lists.

I have to go put up Christmas lights on the house now.

Good luck with your searching

Cathy:
Thanks for checking, May I ask where is So Cal you are, I just moved here from Ventura, and I miss CA sooo much.

Have fun with your lights!!

That link was probably only valid while you were logged on at ScotlandsPeople and had paid for it. It is not available to anyone else at that address.

If you have downloaded to your PC, then you can upload it to the TalkingScot Gallery. Then we can all see it and have a go at the deciphering.

All the best,

Hi Karen
I can see it OK from the first link - I suspect someone must have waved a magic wand!

It looks like McAlay to me too.

Best wishes

Hi Karen,

I read Rose Campbell's maiden name is McAlay.

All the best,

Andrew Paterson

I'll go with that, unless there's a great big flourish at the end of the second "d" of deceased on the line below, in which case the last letter might be an "n", not a "y".
