Name on 1627 baptism COMPLETED
« on: Sunday 04 January 26 16:58 GMT (UK) »
What do you think the forename is of this baptism of the son of William Wainwright in 1627?

I have seen it transcribed as two totally different names and would like to get a better concensus of what the name actually is.

thanks

I'd suggest Raphe (= Rafe, or Ralph).

Thank you
That is what I read it as (and hoped it was!) but Ancestry have it transcribed as Thomas!
FamilySearch & FindmyPast have it as Raphe
