Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: First Name of Witness
« on: Saturday 20 August 22 11:36 BST (UK) »
Thanks to everyone for the observations and sorry for the delayed response.
I'm trying to confirm with a bit more certainty that this John and Ann are my 4xggrandparents by seeing if I can build a picture of the families.
What I do know is that Thomas Davenport married Jane Davies 20 Oct 1833 at St Peter, Bolton and these are my 3xggrandparents. It's a while since I've looked at this so I've only just looked at the parish record only to see that one of the witnesses is shown as Tho Davenport! Unless it is an error that seems to put a spanner in the works!
Thanks,
Jean
