Can you help me decipher this name (scan of Marriage cert.)
« on: Monday 25 July 05 06:31 BST (UK) »
I think the first name is Mary, but I can't figure it out.
This is a certificate copy from Victoria Australia, in 1854. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can take more scans if you want.
Thanks in advance,
Liz

I took the letters one by one as best as I could and came up with TALMNER. Can you give us a scan of some other words from the cert so we can compare

Looks like Falmer to me

Can you do a few more words and a bit smaller

It looks like John WILLIAMS and Mary PALMER to me.  Though the initial letter of Mary's surname is very odd if it is meant to be a 'P'.  Is there another upper case 'P' to compare it with?

It's like the priest made the letter up lol.
Here is a capital P, J, F, I and T.
It is another persons record. But all by the same priest.

hope it's okay to add my thoughts......

I think the bottom occupation could bean abbreviation of Servant.

Mary's surname -  The first letter is difficult to decipher...but I think the rest is .olmer
