Title: Help to decipher surname please
Post by: jools13 on Monday 14 August 23 09:37 BST (UK)

Hello, Can anyone decipher the witnesses surnames on this 1848 marriage certificate please.  First names are Edward and Julia, I’m really struggling with their surnames.

Thanks everyone, Finn isn’t one I’d considered so I’ll look into it.
