Is the first name French?
« on: Monday 26 January 15 09:28 GMT (UK) »
Hi

On a marriage certificate the grooms fathers name is recorded with a surnane of Adams and I thought the first name was Simeon. I am not so sure now if it is Simeon having enlarged the writing.  I am told there is a French or Channel Island family connection so it could be a French name? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I'm going to go against the flow! 

Edited: no, I'm not, but I'm not 100% sure it's Simeon, the e doesn't look right.

Woops, I was editing as Bumble Bee was posting, but I think we're both unsure on this one!

Sorry, I'm going to disagree on Simeon - based on the "e" in deceased.   :o  Not having seen more of the image in order to compare an "r", I would hazard a guess at Simiron.

Snap alpinecottage  ;D ;D

Many thanks for all the replies so far. Would it help if I posted an image of the complete marriage certificate or is there copyright rules that does not allow this?
