    1. Silly question?
    2. Peter Ross

    3. Hi all, Put it down to my senile decay if you like, but I'm trying to think of the explanation of an abbreviation on my aunt's Death Cert (she died at Walwa). The initials "M. I." are used, and I'm sure it must stand for something like "maiden name" but I can't quite get it. It refers to my grandmother as "Margaret ROSS, Previously GORDON, M.I. BARRON". We knew she was born Margaret BARRON, and her first marriage was to someone named GORDON before marrying Henry ROSS but can anyone explain these initials for me please? Peter Ross

    3. Well it may be only a guess, but it's the best one yet! And better than anything I've been able to think of by far. I'm wondering whether it's a bad transcription of MN for "Maiden Name"? I dunno. Welcome home Chris.
