Help with witnesses
« on: Thursday 14 January 21 18:23 GMT (UK) »
Hi All

Haven't been on here in a while, hoping someone can help with the following marriage.

Can anyone decipher the witness signatures on the attached marriage record please any help gratefully received.

Regards

The last witness's name looks a bit like Ann, and then in view of the groom's name I wonder if it could be Lock, though it seems to be written 'Locks' with a flourish.
