Witness Name - suggestions please Completed -Thank You
« on: Friday 14 March 14 21:37 GMT (UK) »
Hi RC'ers
I'm trying to work out the name of the second witness

Appears that the first witness is Henry Shetelworth
Second person is a member of the Gilson family but which one?
(I have a possibility in mind but would like confirmation)

Thanks
Di

OK first into bat, first thoughts as it looks to begin with an "A" is something like Aron?
Will keep a close eye on this one!!

Thanks keyboard86 - Aron's not a name I have on my list of possibilities but it could be right.

Shame he/she has such a bad challenging signature

Thanks for your ideas
I thought it was Saml as well but the more I look at it I'm now unconvinced.

When enlarged, that first letter doesn't look like a "S" to me

Frustrating

The first letter is shaped in a similar way to the S in Shetelworh, and I'm seeing an a or an o and an m after it:

 I see the second letter as "o" as it loops upwards....the first as either an "S" or could it be a "T"...Samuel does sound like a good bet but I don't see the second letter as being an "a" but I could be wrong.
