Title: Name confirmation
Post by: Amy149 on Monday 09 May 22 16:57 BST (UK)

We have always thought this name was Mary Hughes but we are not 100% sure as this name does not relate to any other document we can find.

Can someone please confirm what name this is.

It’s a bit hard to see but the ‘M’ looks the same as in Margaret Metcalfe above

It also looks a lot like the C in Clancy below.
Added. But I have now looked at the page, and there are better examples of M. I agree Mary
