first name of witness
« on: Tuesday 06 July 10 13:48 BST (UK) »
Hi, I hope someone can help,

I am struggling to make out the first name  of a witness to the wedding of-

John Kingdon  to Mary Ann Lycett, on 22nd November 1831, at St Mark, Kennington, it's the Lycett witness that I can't read.

This record is on ancestry, only I still haven't worked out how to load it on to the boards.

Thanking you in advance, Dovely

Hi  Jen B,
 thank you very  much, as soon as you said it  ,I could see it .
Sadly  for me that means that this record is not of my Mary Ann Lycett.

Back to the drawing board !!
Once again thanks.
Dovely

The first name of the Lycett witness is Edward - if you compare it with the second forename on the first line also abbreviated to Edw you will see that what can be distinguished of the E is identical.

I hope this helps
