The first one, in the top left corner of the photo.

Ironically, while resizing this, I've had a theory, but I won't say anything.

I don't think there is an S at the end.

The writer seems to end many words he writes with a curly flourish which is not S.
e.g.Aberdeen

I agree, not "s" at the end. I think possibly "Janet".
