Post by: judb on Wednesday 17 September 08 09:18 BST (UK): Do you have other information about this person that might lead to other documents with her name eg census, BMD certificates etc? What kind of document is the name written on?

I have just finished transcribing some records from the 19th century and have found looking at census and other documents quite helpful in transalting some appalling handwrting!

Post by: AnneleaD on Wednesday 17 September 08 11:53 BST (UK): Hi all

This written piece was in an old photo album from my g grandmother in which she identified photos of which the majority are missing, including this one.
I thought it did look like de Purks/ Parks. :-\
The album contained only photos of family and I have not come across anyone in the family with this name or anything similar to it. Looks like it'll have to remain a mystery as to who this person was.

Thanks for all your efforts and replies.
Kind Regards
Annette

Post by: trev1 on Saturday 04 October 08 10:59 BST (UK): May I suggest as a first step you look at other things written by your great grandmother--i hope you have something more-- and piece together a possible alphabet and work from there?

Post by: VictorianDreamer on Friday 24 October 08 12:02 BST (UK): Could it possibly be the name of a Park where the photo was taken?
