I always thought my GGF was Henry Palfreeman..and then I found this and reading across to check its the right m/c I saw a second name which I ahd not noticed before. Can anyone see what the seond name is ? It looks like Richard?? or William??
Many thanks!

William :)

William :)
Agreed
Plus if his wife was Isabella and they lived in York, then he gave his name as Henry William Palfreeman (and signed as such) on the 1921 census
