Birth Certificate transcription

[Rupert96]

Not sure if I have picked the right area for this topic.

I'm hoping someone can tell me the attached birth certificate for Emma Jane MANN her father's christian name.
I have manipulated the document many times but I would like an unbiased opinion of what others can see.

Appreciate any input
Cheers
Rupert

Hi Rupert,

I'd say William as well but it would be useful if you could scan the document at a higher resolution and repost the relevant bit

Hi Dee & Tati

Hoping this attachment shows more detail.

Please let me know if I should alter more.

Cheers

Hello Rupert

I would  also plump for William.

A warm welcome to Rootschat........

Looks like Wilburn to me now

I think I can see her in 1851 as Jane Mann* - do you already have the details? What's Jane's maiden name?

*Dad's name looks like Milburn there. 

[Tati]

His name looks like Milburn on several census.

Death:
Milburn Mann age 72
Mar 1903 Tetbury 6a 256

Marriage:
Melburne Mann - Jane Plaster
Jun 1845 Tetbury 11 593

Well Tati now you have told us that I can quite see how it

might be Milburn

The two first letters - first name and surname -  look the same except for the upward stroke of the first name and there is a little curl just before it - so Milburn looks good
