Post by: Margeh75 on Monday 10 January 11 17:48 GMT (UK)

Any ideas?? Printed record says Annie Manmey, but i think its Marrney on the written?( The loop over the letter M is belonging to the name that was above this one)

Are you sure the ending isnt an old fashioned 'ss' rather than a 'y'?

Hi

I'm pretty sure that is a double "s" at the end of this name.

hmm. can't find any such name belonging to the family i'm researching. it's def a "y" at the end. the other people on the page (marriage records- american), i've seen the y is the same in names such as Mary and Henry
