Title: Surname help please
Post by: heedrapper on Sunday 28 April 13 14:03 BST (UK)

Hi,

Need help please, with both surnames from marriage certificate. Both names a likely to be of Irish descent.

Benjamin R_______ farmer deceased.
and Ellen Roberts MS  W______ deceased.
I'm confident of the 'W' as it appears a few time on the document as 'W'illiam

I think it says 'Benjamin Roberts' although the 't' isn't crossed.

Still thinking about the next bit.

Kind regards,
Maggie  :)

I think it may be Wolfe - there is a marriage of a Benjamin Roberts to an Ellen Wolfe on a*y.
