Trying a different approach, anyone come across a case of the LDS 'correcting' a name on an extraction?Have you checked that the GRO index doesn't also show "Kearney" ? The
Scotlandspeople register says "Cairney" - one of the few words that is clear to read but IGI says "Kearney"
Marriage of John Cairney to Margaret Kerr 1873 Partick in the county of Lanark
Or did the LDS extract from some other record?
IGI shows what is on the register page but IIRC the GRO index will
show both the original and amended forms of a register entry which has
been corrected. If the IGI reference number is not prefixed by "M"
then it might not be derived verbatim from the register.

The IGI has M116461
it also has other subtle differences. The IGI says Govan, the Scotlandpeople record (which I believed to be the register record) says District of Partick (which I know was in Govan Parish at the time and for some time after). This suggested to me that the extraction was from another document.
We do believe that his name was Kearney but he was an illiterate Irish immigrant and the registrar wrote it the way he thought it should be written and has been for six generations...
