BUT why isn't the same flourish on the other M ?

In fact looking at it again - the surname doesn't begin with M at all  :o

Added:  what is the word in the next column to "Cheyne"?  Same initial letter as the MS surname!

I agree it looks like a flourish on the M, very similar to the flourish on the E in Elizabeth

I agree the M of M.S. is different both on the left and the right.  But there is another M to the right of the image which is similar.
