Plain Jane - Completed

[LisaHallworth]

Plain Jane would be so much easier??   

I have just got a birth cert from 1858 for an ancestor in Co. Durham.  His mother has quite a list of former names.
I'll paste in the image, but here is what I believe it to say:

Jane Sennett, late H (?) ope, formerly Mc**ene.
 
(father Sennett was a coal miner)

X  the mark of Jane Sennett, mother, Tottenham {no really - that's what it's called}, Coundon.


I left in the extra bits as I think it can help, sometimes, to see exactly how that Registrar scrawled an "e", and so on.  Obviously her maiden name is the tricky bit.   McIrene...McLene???

I'm presuming that the section about her name is telling me that she was born a Mc**ene, then married a Hope, who died & then she married a Sennett.

Would appreciate any help here from folks more used to this style of handwriting than I.

Hi Lisa,

I'd say Sennett - Hope - McVene

McBene gets 4x as many hits as McVene.

McBene gets 4x as many hits as McVene.

where ?

I don't think that's a capital B.  How about McLene?  Lots of hits in census.

Almost certainly  Hope

Hi I
I would say by the look of the writers lead in stroke in the 't's' and 'k' in mark! that this is not a 'b'! the v sharpe corner is there on the upper right of the V''

Mc'vene

Dear All
What a great response!
I didn't think there would be any answers yet, and you've proved me wrong.

I have to admit I believe it looks like McVene, not McBene.  Not a name I've heard before, and also not one which gets me a hit for her marriages on FreeBMD... yet!

You've been a great help, folks. Many Thanks!
