On several points, the registrar's handwriting is difficult. The father's parents probably have the first names James and Jane. The father's name is abbreviated and, up to a point, a guess. It probably is 'James',

The given name of the second witness seems to be May, but could be Mary.

Ancestry's indexers had some problems with the bride's surname, but one has only to look at the clearer handwriting for the surnames of the witnesses to realize that McCaw is correct.

Margaret's place of birth is shown as County Derry, Ireland. Apparently, this is an abbreviation for County Londonderry.
