Having a little more time to look at it, I agree with Redroger and vv. Too many vertical lines in this example. The random dots on the page don't help either, so there may be a letter i in there, but not necessarily. After the surname, does it say 'Norton was '? If so then there could even be a w in the forename.

Nothing springs to mind but the nearest long shot is Annie....

I've just had a bolt from the blue, I was wondering what that first letter could be if it wasn't an A. It could be a C but..... how about a G followed by wm for Latinised William.

I'll now go back and check the first example.

Hi Colin, it says "was buried" afterwards. It has to be a female name though because it is followed by "daughter of Thomas".

Closer look makes the first letter look more like an F or an S.

It was the second example I was referring to, possibly Gwm Ballard Norton was...

Oh right. Well that was just an example as the name was the same as the Lake one I was interested in.  :)

They are not quite the same, that's the problem.  :)
I wouldn't suggest William for Thomas's daughter  ;D ;D

Bit of a long shot, but what about "Emma" ?

A further long shot "Winnie" It has the merit of being all up and down strokes except for the final letter.
