Hi.
Would anyone be able to help me decipher this name please.. It is the name of the groom's father on a marriage certificate.
The marriage took place in South Wales in 1946 but the groom's address was in Oxford.
The groom is George Frederick Charles Harris age 31..Batchelor (but I believe he was already married to someone else! )
I have obtained a birth cert for a George C F Harris (initials other way around) in 1914 and he has a father of Horace Shorden Harris.
Many thanks
Jackie

Looks like
Eyrmon Horace Harris
The Horace Harris is clear enough, I am not sure about Eyrmon!
-
Thanks Lizdb.
I thought it could be Eyrmon, Eyrman or similar but i'm not getting anywhere searching for that name or anything similar.
Would you agree that the 1st letter def looks like an E?

For all that it's worth I'd agree with Eyrmon.
Curious about the origins of it, maybe a variation of Armon?
-
I cant see any birth or marriage on FreeBMD for an Eyr* Horace Harris.
I thought it must be a variation of Eamonn, but dont know for sure.

I would like to see more of the cert to be sure but I would also go with Eyrmon

Thanks still-looking, Lizdb and Rob for your thoughts.. I've trawled ancestry for anything that looks similar but haven't come up with anything close..
I'm struggling to go back any further on this line because George Harris dissapeared and nothing is known about him by his children (apart from his possible bigamist marriage).
