Help with a name
« on: Tuesday 14 February 12 14:27 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Listed with the surname of Spur on the 1881 census but the letter S differently elsewhere on the page

I'll upload more photos if that helps?

Thank you
Hinton, Hunt, Garey, Russon, Cooper, Steventon, Brain, Cam, Haden, Slim/Slimm, Hankins, Hooper, Powers, Roberts, Rodgers, Weale, Willetts, Williams

Hi,

I would say it says Spur.

Cristopher, Ann and Caroline.

I also see Spur. I'd say that the word 'scholar' is written in a different hand.

He's Christopher Spurr in 1891.
