I remember how pleased I was to find this marriage record of this family member. Edinburgh, 1799. I also was mad at their arrogance in 'translating' his name from Duff to Black. Just because he was a Gaelic speaker, I presume.  ap memory by Kate Ferris, on Flickr This also happened to my middle name by an English Registrar on my marriage! ap memory by Kate Ferris, on Flickr |

Do you think they'd have done the same thing if he'd been French?! (The changing of the names is awful. Not the picture!) |

On my wedding certificate, the registrar said it had to be in English! As for this search, I found it through his wife's name, which actually derives from old French. |

Surely it also has to be their name! I strongly suspect the 'be in English' part was to rule out other alphabets, few of us could make out a name written in Chinese. |

You have reminded me that when we were married, the registrar asked Michael for his occupation and happily wrote down 'Managing Director Engineering Company'. Then I was asked. Apparently, 'Technical Publisher' wasn't on the approved list of occupations and so it says I'm a secretary instead. |

Nearly 33 years ago and my wedding. This was my usher and during my speech I called him up to the top table to pay him £50 from a bet we had made a few years prior. No one else in the room was aware of the bet either or what that bet was! Sad memory too. This was less than a week after we had buried my dad.  The fifty pound bet by Nigel G, on Flickr |
