Title: What is this maiden name?
Post by: DixonBainbridge on Tuesday 08 December 15 12:10 GMT (UK)

Hi all,

I'm trying to work out what this person's maiden name is (the last word), can anybody help?

The document says 'Emily Jane Rush formerly ..... ' I think it may say Bowell?

Thanks

Hi,

I would say Barrell - the a is quite closed - see the a in Jane, whereas the u in Rush
is a very open letter.

Can you give any other info e.g. date of document.

Thank you. The sketchy info I had on Emily Jane was that she was born around 1872 in Earl Stonham and died young around 1899. There does appear to be a record for an Emily Jane Barrell that may fit.
