A Marriage

[jancis]

I think the first letter is a P.
On the preceeding page, just under the horizontal line is the name Powell, with the initial letter pretty much identical.

It looks like Pery to me, so perhaps Perry or Peery in it's standard form.

Hi again

I feel it looks like Tovey.
I cannot find any mention of which County you think this relative lived.
If it is Somerset or the West of England then it will be Tovey.
If you research the name Tovey, it comes from the Danish word Tovi
The Standard bearer of King Canute King of England in 999 had a helper
called Tovi the Proud.  He eventually left King Canute and started his dynasty
in Somerset.  They spead around that area.  The name of course over the
years has changed slightly in spelling. I think the scribe put a large O so
the pronounciation was on the O. This is my opinion of course.  Hope
if you know where they came from that it is Somerset or the West of
England.
I love looking up the history of things lol

Hi Sandymc, they lived in Essex. Having looked at a similar letter in the name Powell, I think the first letter is P and probably Pery. Still open to debate though
