Looks like M.S. (Maiden surname) Connelly to me. Still looking at line above.

Can we have more of the image?

I would say McKenna for the second - and after I had decided that, I noticed that you already have the name in your signature!

Yes thank you for confirming the name McKenna though i was hoping that I may have been wrong about it as I cant find anything on her... :( wasnt sure if I was reading the K correctly thought it may have been an R - then i was totally confusing myself thinking perhaps the next letter instead of being an e was an i - either way i am unable to locate anything on her..... :'(

yes now that i look at it again it does look like a Glenn - can anyone make out what the name is after the Glenn before the Cully/Culley??? i am sorry to trouble you guys but i am stuck... kindest regards

Post by: Arranroots on Sunday 10 September 06 14:54 BST (UK)
I think that bit is a contraction of the word 'formerly' - maybe 'fmly' or similar, meaning that she was born CONNELLY, married CULLY but was widowed and is now GLENN.

A  ;)

Yes, I reckon it's actually 'prev', abbreviation of 'previously'. Same meaning.

Sorry did not see page 2 when i sent in my reply.

Yarn or Yard (yard cleaning after butchering?)  Just a thought but more than likely the Yarn it is just that the last letter has the long upward swing like a 'd'.
