Hand writing please, it's from a burial index
« on: Friday 02 January 26 15:54 GMT (UK) »
Would anyone be able to transcribe the line below 'John Backshell 25th March' I'm not sure if it's another name or a continuation of the line above ?

Many thanks

Val

I'd say it's Ed. welch.

The loop on the l in welch is to the right of the main ascender whereas the loop on the d in Ed. is before the main ascender.

Also the word in the top Backshell line is:  thelder = the elder

ADDED:

I also think it's:  buryed
