Handwriting Help- Completed Thankyou
« on: Thursday 05 February 09 15:18 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
     I'm having trouble deciphering the Fathers name on the marriage certificate of my great grandfather. I know his surname is definately Lilley, but I can't really make out his first name - so any suggestions will be appreciated!

Thankyou all for your help.  All I could see was it being Robert, or some variation of that, which probably explains why I haven't been able to find him!
