Reading your last post which crossed with mine, perhaps she was named after an ancestor who had the surname Uniam?

Just doing a bit of Googling the name seems to appear as a surname quite a lot, especially in Canada - possibly French origins?

Are you certain it isn't a surname? Many countries put the surname first, then christian name afterwards

Hi Penny,
She married John Dickie Florence in Aberdeen in 1915.
I have the marriage cert. which is clear to read at the top
of the page. I am having difficulty reading her fathers
first name, mother Margaret. Any help with that info?

I have come across a name which is one I've not
heard of before. Her christian name is Uniam. Full

of it?
