Hi I don't mind having a go - I'm good at reading doctors writing and their hand is pretty illegible! Sylvie

I am happy to try and look at it if you want to send me it as an attachment (not that I am any expert!). You can also write to SP with the full ref details and they will tell you what it says. The other option is to post a message on the discussion board with the same details and sometimes someone will look at it from there. Hope that helps. Regards Margaret

I have a certficate which i saved from scotlands people which is for the marriage of my Great Great Great Grandparents, but I am having great difficulty in reading the writing to decipher their mothers names, the maiden names are fine it is the forenames I just can't work out. I can't trace these any further until i decipher the names.
