Reading Names

[Hollie.47]

Hello,

I've been trying to decipher the groom's parent's names on a marriage certificate I've had for a while and I still can't decipher it.  Help please?

[Billyblue]

I read it as
Frank Leonard Lewis
Ann Bremer, deceased

Hi Hollie

I agree with Billyblue, except for the first word - it really doesn't look like Frank to me, as the last letter seems to be a distinct "i" ??  It looks something like "Ferali"... hmmmmmm, hard one.

[Billyblue]

I too read the first name as Ferali or similar, at first.
but the more I looked, the more it became Frank.
I think that last letter is the 'hump' on the k, and what appears as a dot on an i  is just a blob of ink.

I have a hard time seeing 'Frank' but wondered if instead of a name its some kind of a title. Perhaps a misspelled 'Fusilier'?

On your earlier thread on the same subject I suggested the name was Frank, and I still think that's what it is 
I suggested that there was a stray ink spot over part of the 'k' which makes it look like 'li' instead of 'k'.

Rather than concentrate on the writing of a very difficult to read image,why not post a look for the birth or death of the chap himself on the Australian boards? Make sure you copy and paste a link to this thread though.

Lots of the Australian Rootschatters have all sorts of access to useful info
