Handwritng; help to decipher a name please
« on: Friday 29 February 08 05:48 GMT (UK) »
Hi ,
can any of you please help to decipher this name below. It's taken off the back of an old photo, so I have no other handwriting to compare it to. It's not my family so I do not have a clue what the name could be either ( I"m  going through some old photos that I rescued a few years back, hoping to reunite them with their descendent's )

The Christian name I  really haven't got a clue what it says - could it be Bobbie?

The surname looks a bit like Peterson, or maybe Pearson??

( picture is of a lady, so it's probably a female Christian name)

Thanks for any help:)
