I think someone was having fun with this one.

I took a look at the certificate. Frances Agnes Pritty was unmarried, so there is no married surname. Her parents were unmarried, at least not married to one another - [unknown] Pritty and Agnes _____ Lockhart, wife of ____ Lockhart. The certificate is quite difficult to read, but I see no sign of an Auld surname there.

All the best,

The two other names would have fitted very nicely in the age at death if it was a bored or lazy registrar!

That definitely depends on which side of 50 you are! I remember a time when I referred to friends of ours as 'an older couple' when they were mid-thirties
