Help with this surname.

[BristolClark]

Hello All,

Just came across this uncertain surname in the parish records of Treborough in Somerset.
It's a marriage between a William Clark of Old Cleeve and an Anne R??tion of Dunster.
I can't for the life of me decipher what Anne's surname is supposed to be. Rueition? Rueltion?

Any clues?

Hi

Not sure but I'd guess that it starts with an old style  Q not an R. The th from the line below is making it look like an R.

It looks like Anne Question.

And it's as simple as that! It didn't even cross my mind to think it a Q rather than an R. It looks like the woman in question is Anne Question, baptised 26th December 1698 in Dunster.

Thank you very much for your help.

And thank you to you for your input. Most probably a relative of sorts, albeit a generation down.

My first glance was Question but it didn't seem right

At least you could decipher it. 
I've genuinely never heard of that surname before. You learn something new everyday.

Neither have I that's why I thought it must be wrong
