Signature "COMPLETE"
« on: Tuesday 13 May 25 08:48 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Would anyone like to hazard a guess please as to the name of the person that signed attached, there is no right or wrong answer, as I sure don't know.
Thanks,
Daniel Ryan.

I definitely think the forename is Wm, i.e. William. The second part I'm less certain, first instinct was Lanigan or something like that. Do you have any more of the handwriting to get a better feel for how the person constructs their letters?

Many thanks Lewis and Rowan,
I'm afraid that there is no other sample of the handwriting, just the signature.  Would have to agree that it does look more like Jamison.  Somedays you just can't see the forest for the trees!
Daniel.
