Title: Your opinion matters "Completed with thanks"
Post by: Ryan1 on Tuesday 20 May 25 09:27 BST (UK)

Hi,
Just like to get your opinions on the following two names please, no other samples of handwriting available.

Who do you think Edward is?
What do you think Mr. Wilson's first name might be?

Thanks for any help.
Danie Ryan.

I agree with Edward Waling and I think the first name of the second person is Frank but not sure of Wilson as the surname.

Frank Lessing?

Or Frank Plessing? does seem to end in ssing but the first part is all mixed up with the k from Frank.

Thank you all for your assistance and allowing me to pick your brains.  The second surname turns out to be "Franklin"
