Help deciphering name please
« on: Thursday 19 March 15 14:42 GMT (UK) »
So far I managed to decipher:

Business unknown.
Unknown whether
alive or dead.
- - -
Unknown whether alive or not.

Can't figure out 4th line - looks like Catherine ? ?

First is Cathrine (looks to me as if they have missed out the first "e"), second might be Walker, third I can’t make out.  Line below reads “unknown whether alive or not”.
Jarron, Marr, Christie, Candy, Addison, Spence, Mitchell, Mollison, Calder, Duffus, Silver, Burness, Falconer

We thought it was Cathrine Walker "millworker", or "millworks" but the writing is so hard to decipher!

I would agree that the name is Mather, but I read the occupation as "Spillmaker"

We thought it was Cathrine Walker "millworker"

I also read it as Walker, not Mather. Compare the way th is written in whether (above and below).

I also think it is Millworker. There is interference from the ascender of the letter l in the line below, which makes it harder to see the first letter.
