Title: Help with a name
Post by: AprilHinton on Tuesday 14 February 12 14:27 GMT (UK)

Hi,

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Listed with the surname of Spur on the 1881 census but the letter S differently elsewhere on the page

I'll upload more photos if that helps?

Thank you

Hi,

I would say it says Spur.

Cristopher, Ann and Caroline.

Pels.

Agree with Spur!

I also see Spur. I'd say that the word 'scholar' is written in a different hand.

He's Christopher Spurr in 1891.
