Hi Flipside
Looks Like Mun… the marriage is on SP
Look for Morrison and "Munn" in 1880 at Boisdale.

My eyes read it as Jessie Morrison, Ms Mun

Hi Flipside,

I agree with Mun too.

All I can add is the place name - Smirclate. On the modern maps with the Gaelic spelling, it is Smeircleit.

Current OS map showing Smeircleit

All the best,
