Title: Could anybody work on the name on this handwriting?
Post by: pineapple88 on Thursday 21 March 13 20:32 GMT (UK)
Hi all - I today received some paperwork from 1930 relating to  relative. I cannot workout the red ringed name. Also if anyone can decipher it is daughter-in-law or daughter this would be really helpful to me, Thanks so much

Mrs Deacon?
She's a daughter.
The daughter in law further down is Mrs S Smith.

Gosh well that has put a spanner in the works, if it can't be Dyson (it is a Dr's handwriting) then I have no clue who it could be, will have to investigate further. Thanks anway,

Your both right just had a moment of clarity - it is her daughter who married a chap surname Dakin. The Dr has written it as Deacon. Thanks so much  - that has cleared that up, I was just about to start searching for another mystery sibling. Thanks  :)
