I would like to add a new connected request for help please.

Do people think that the signatures below for a Donald Cameron are the same. One from 1863 and the other from 1865, included below:

Hi Monica

They look the same to me

brevitas

PS - Have looked at the death cert very large and played around with it in PS but still not clear  :(

Does the mystery writing say "Richard", perhaps?

I agree with Prue,I thought it said Richard or Richards too.

Thanks Brevitas and Carol.

Great you think that they are the same Brevitas...building up a lead for the reputed father here! The only link to reputed father is the Uncle who reported death and an address for him in 1865.

Carol, what do you think on the new attachments?

They look the same, but are you sure that they are both the original signature of Donald Cameron rather than the Registrar transcribing the signature into the duplicate book? How do they compare with the handwriting on the rest of the certificates?

Where was Joana Cameron born?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I just typed the same reply as Ian,but it seems to have vanished  >:(

I too wondered if they were the actual person's signature or that of the registrar.

My mum and her cousin who were the same age and at school together,had identical writing ,I always thought it was down to the way they were taught at the time.

If you mean me, I am not Ian, I am a not-Ian hailing from Forfar!  ;)

Something very odd is appening here?

I'm sure I typed Forfarian.....and also I DID type a message before yours and now that has disappeared. Spooky or what?

Maybe I should go and get a coffee and things will get better  ;D

Aye. I typed a long reply yesterday and it vanished into the ether too.
