I have to call it a night, Edward.  It's awfully late here.

I believe Mary's surname is still unresolved.

I'm sure the 2nd and 3rd letters are ...re.... But as HD86 has said, that initial capital may not be P, and the last few letters are also in doubt.

Would there be any mileage in reading it as beginning Tre... (comparing with the T in Timothy)? Just a thought.

T being the first letter was my original thought, although the T in Thomas is different again.

Looking again, the 'er' in funeral (just underneath) looks similar to the 2nd & 3rd or 3rd & 4th letters.

The last 2 letters still look like 'ie' to me

thanks

I would tend to agree, but, as HD86 has said, if the last 2 letters are ...ie, what precedes them? I don't think it's h, because the top isn't rounded enough.

It's possible that the last 4 letters are ...ti(?)e, with something between the i and the e, and that the dot for the i has been misplaced to the right. That said, I still can't offer a feasible name.

The first surname is Prentice.

That said, I still can't offer a feasible name.

I retract everything  :D

I'd hate to rule it out, Jen. Like HD, I'm just doubtful about the P and wonder if it might be T  :-\

Thanks for your replies & apologies for the delay in responding. We were away over the weekend for OH's birthday.

I'll see what similar matches I can find
