Signature of Bride and as a Witness -completed

[Roli]

Hi,

I have come across the marriage entry for what might be my 4x Greatgrandparents, in Rettendon, Essex 1802.

I have also come across a marriage in Ramsden Bellhouse, Essex 1811, where it appears that a person with the same name is a witness.

To me, apart from the spelling, both names seem written similarly, which could mean they are one and the same peson.  I would be grateful for your views.

Thanks,

Roli

Hello Roli

There is certainly some similarity but surely her married name would be Rawingson not Rolison ?

Sorry but I can't really see any similarity.

I would be surprised if she spelt her Christian name in two different ways.

Unlike the top one,the one below keeps very much to the line when signing her name.

Also, look at the capital R's, very diffferent.

I see the top one as Rebecah Green and John Rawlinson

- I don't think they are the same person either even though the sound of Rawlinson and Rolison could be similar.

Hi,

Thank you for your thoughts on this.  I was, of course, hoping the two were actually the same person but I am now persuaded they are not.  My cousin and I have been trying to find something on our 4x great grandfather for about 5 years now. Ho hum, back to the drawing board!

Thanks for your help.
