Help to decipher this name please!

I wasn’t sure if this was Tarne, Jarne or Farne!
Any ideas very welcome 🙏🏻

The second one looks like S E Tame to me.

But the two are not by the same hand. Is one a transcription? If so which one? Or are they from different documents? Some context, place and date might help.

I would say it was S E Tarne

Hi ShaunJ
The first was from the Devon Parish Registers and is the actual signature of the witness.
The second is from the marriage certificate, so will have been transcribed.

I would load the certificate but I can only upload small pictures… I am not very techno, so I don’t know if it is my lack of ability or whether it’s due to a restriction on file size!

I would say it was S E Tarne

I agree, that's what I see.

As Shaun has said, a place and date may help, that would enable a census search for the area. That my throw up a likely person.

It was a marriage in East Stonehouse, Devon on 28 August 1909.
The groom Francis George Francis was resident in East Stonehouse as he was based there with the Royal Marines.
The bride, Margaret Helen Rowland lived in Surrey as she was in service as a housekeeper there.
I managed to trace one of the witnesses J Coupland as a John Thomas Coupland, who joined the RM on the same day as Francis! 2 October 1902.
There is no one with a name the same or similar in either family.
I will try and upload the certificates again

I have searched for Tame, Fame, Jame, Tarne, Farne and Jarne in census for Surrey, where the bride was in service, Devon, where the marriage took pkace and Kent, where the bride grew up.

Also, thank you to Looby, Carol and Shanreagh and especially  to Shaun and Jebber, as I didn’t think about the fact that a transcription could obviously alter the details of someones name. So I have learnt something there. Plus of course, that the word I am looking to decipher is best given with other information. Thank you
