Name help
« on: Saturday 07 January 12 17:42 GMT (UK) »
Hello everyone and happy new year.
I don't know if I'm posting this in the right place but I'm hoping for some help in transcribing the name in the attached image. All educated guesses welcome. The only clue, it's a mans Christian name.
 
Regards,

Duplicate thread started on DERRY/LONDONDERRY board 2 days ago and I'd already said Archibald as the name- to avoid anymore needless work I'm going to lock the other thread  :-\

Sorry Aghadowey,
I wanted to get a few opions and felt I wasn't getting many responses to my original post. As I had said in the original post I wasn't sure I had posted in the right place, I then came across this section. I don't know if posts can be moved?

The beginning is a bit odd .... I can make out from hibald, the letter in front of the h is too tall for a c.

Can't think of anything else similar though.  ::)

rosie99,
I had William in my head for a long time, but as I said my wife thought it more of an Archibald when we looked at it again.
