Title: Signature on a list of shareholders
Post by: Ryan1 on Friday 13 June 25 11:03 BST (UK)
Hi,
This is a signature, one of many on a list of shareholders, I'd just like to know what another set of eyes make of the name please.
Thanks you for any help.
Daniel Ryan.

Looks like Johnson Mass.

I agree - Moss

The same 'o' form as in Johnson

I'm really not sure about 'Johnson'. I think the first letter could be a T. (Are we in Ireland?)

ADDED
Maybe Tolson ?

Thank you all for your replies which have been really helpful.
The shareholders list is in Australia 1870's goldfields.  Bookbox, I originally thought that the first name started with a "T".  However when I look at the first name I can see Johnson.

No Kiltaglassan, I did not mean to, just having a "Seniors moment" sorry about any confusion.
