Title: Help with one surname
Post by: Edward Scott on Sunday 13 April 14 15:38 BST (UK)

It's Sunday and as usual I am stuck on another Lincolnshire will.

Two clips attached, mother & 2 children and I cannot work out the surname

Mother is Francis
Children Ann & Marie

Surname looks like Haerin, but that doesn't seem to make sense

Many thanks

Edward

Waerin. Compare with William in the line below (extract 1).

Agree the W as per Bookboxes' reasoning, but maybe Wadrin -see the d in 'payd'
