Hi

It looks like Rhenies to me

It looks like Rhenies to me but according to FreeBMD there's no such surname listed in Births. I notice that the cert is from GRO and is a transcription of the original which could have been badly copied. If you need to know the correct name you would probably need to see the original certificate.

Regards,
Colin

I've just put it into Ancestry general search and there are  a few Rhenies  (sounds a bit like an indigestion remedy ! )

PS - think it is Scottish

First letter of the surname looks to be the same as the initial of the first name on the line above for Wilson. Is it an R ??

I'd suggest RHENIUS - as in Reverend C. T. E. Rhenius (1790-1838), whose wife, by the way, was named Anna Wilhelmina and who had family connections in Prussia; Kirkcudbright, Scotland; and Tamil Nadu, India

See this page, too, from THE CHRISTIAN WEEK (Edinburgh, November 24, 1880), featuring a "Robert Wilson" and "Mrs. Rhenius":

Good find, IGS 

Although it's definitely an 'e' in the signature - maybe spelling mistake by the person at the Reg Office who transcribed from the original certificate, as Colin says.

thanks, Rhenies is what I thought it could be but cant find much on such a name , Rhenius is also interesting but it might just be a wrong spelling on the day.
Here is the full copy of the document so you all can take a look, interesting about the R being Robert.
James Whittaker dies in 1918 as a fisherman in Fleetwood and he names his father as a Walter Whittaker, a Pork Butcher but I cant find him anywhere in records, james wife and young family I can find in 1911 in Fleetwood but no sign of either james or his father the pork butcher, so in repect I am trying what clues I have such as this strange name RHENIES, or RHENIUS or any other that it could be, in hope it will lead some place, as you do.
