unsure of surname 1700s

[AusFamily]

The attached graphic is of the marriage banns of Ralph Adams dated 18 Aug. 1740, in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.

His wife's name is hard to decipher
ancestry.com and family search has it as Elizabeth Hindell
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N28D-8LC
findmypast.co.uk has it as Elizabeth Kendell
Hertfordshire Archives has it as Elizabeth Windell

I am trying to trace where she may have been born, therefore a correct surname would be a help.

thank you

Boyd's Marriage Indexes has the name as ARNDELL

[josey]

And the FindmyPast transcription has ELiz AMDELL.

[Watson]

If forced to choose between the above two, I would prefer Arndell (which Reaney associates with Arundale in his dictionary of surnames). However, I am not certain that the first letter is "A".

[AusFamily]

Thanks everyone
hard to know what to think. Kendall could also be a possibility.
I will have to see if there are baptism records for all the various surname variations in that area for that period

[josey]

Yes, baptisms a good idea. Also Boyd's is the most contemporary record, so I suggest looking at the original of Boyd.

Here is the link to FamilySearch, as OP stated there is transcribed as Hindell

though I'm not sure which original source they have used.

I would strongly favor a capital "A" as the initial letter.

[josey]

I think it would be helpful to see other entries on the page for 'K' and 'H'.

Wexflyer - I don't see any similarity with the 'A' of Adams in Ralph's name.

Can the OP please say where the banns page can be accessed.

[Wexflyer]

Wexflyer - I don't see any similarity with the 'A' of Adams in Ralph's name.

To me the core of the letter A is identical in both. The large curl to the left in Adams may be due to the following letter "d"
