On second thoughts perhaps the first letter is a capital H as the M in Miner has a different shape.

Since the extract is titled 'William Walker' I think it is the females maiden name that is required - I believe it is Corbett.

Ooops.
I'll just clean my specs and book an eye test  :-[

Where is it entitled William Walker...I still don't see it??

Think the maiden name is Corbett , by the way, although with my poor eyesight it's probably nothing like that.

Looby ;D

Added - Just realised Annette thinks it's Corbett too!

loobylooayr - look at the opening post where extract is.   In Blue, underneath, it says 1912 death Wm. Walker.

Silly me, thanks Annette, I never even noticed that. I thought you meant in the title of the thread!
I really should leave the deciphering threads alone...or else use the ZOOM in  ;)
